Author: Shalonda Falconer with Lorian Tompkins

Young Faith: My Story, My Struggles, My Triumph, My Faith is a powerful and unflinching autobiography that bares the soul of one person’s journey from pain to purpose. From the innocence of childhood to the storms of adulthood, the author lays open the battles fought within and around them—moments of heartbreak, loneliness, and doubt that could have broken even the strongest spirit.

Yet, within those struggles came an unwavering light: faith. Page by page, readers will witness how faith became a lifeline in the darkest valleys, offering strength when hope felt impossible and courage when the weight of the world felt unbearable. Each chapter is a raw testament to endurance, to the scars that carry stories, and to the triumphs that prove resilience is born in fire.

This is not simply a story of survival—it is a story of rising. Through tears and setbacks, through questions and breakthroughs, the author reveals how faith transformed wounds into wisdom and struggles into stepping stones. It is a declaration that even in life’s hardest moments, love, hope, and belief can pull us through.

More than an autobiography, Young Faith is a mirror for anyone who has ever felt broken, defeated, or lost. It is a reminder that no matter how heavy the burden, triumph is possible. This book will move your heart, strengthen your spirit, and remind you that true faith does not eliminate struggles—it transforms them into the foundation of victory.
