Never Perfect Always Blessed
My Journey to Wholeness
by Lesley-Ann Forbes

---

Never Perfect Always Blessed recounts one woman’s journey to wholeness. Revealing intimate and empowering insights on the author’s teen pregnancy, the challenges she faced as she raised her son without his father and her journey to self-awareness, self-love and genuine happiness. Running throughout the narrative is a deep-felt belief in the opportunity that our life experiences offer growth and gifts from God. Created at the onset of her mother’s diagnosis with Alzheimer’s, these autobiographical tales honour her mother and her mother’s contribution to her life journey. At the same time, the stories demonstrate the influence of family, culture, friends and spiritual awareness. Written with passion and authenticity, this memoir provides hope for anyone who suffers from a lack of self-worth, rejection, depression or sadness. It offers the assurance that current circumstances, however difficult or dark, don’t have to determine the future. We are all worthy and valuable and can create the lives that we want, just as Lesley Ann did. This narrative will especially appeal to single mothers who can often feel alone, tired, insecure and stigmatized. Lesley-Ann has been there, and she speaks directly to those women, giving hope, warmth, and acceptance.
