In Deborah’s Words – “It’s important for people to know that your body is your temple. Take care of it, you only get one. Knowing that no matter what you go through in life, if you can look up, get up, and don’t give up, you’re never alone – Faith over Fear.”

Deborah’s ultimate dream is to see this book become a movie.
