Colorful Colorado, a place known for its beauty and serenity. The backdrop of this beautiful state sets the stage for the struggle and survival of a young girl born into a world of darkness that for her, was void of every vibrant color her native state is known for. Armed only with a strong desire to succeed, be loved and protected, this story follows the journey of a young woman forced to navigate a violent community plagued by drugs, alcohol, abuse, domestic violence, homelessness, poverty, an eruption of gangs and the loss of many lives to incarceration and death. What does it take to make it out of the darkness in order to experience the true beauty of life? Dreams of a brighter future, combined with the willingness to do whatever it takes to break free from the chains of bondage.This memoir is the story of how Dionne fought her way through the shadows of darkness and into an awakening of her ability to convert her darkness into light. This remarkable account of her life is shared with the world in an attempt to uplift and inspire others to stand strong, when faced with adversity and what may often seem like lingering hopelessness.
