Strength Of My Ancestors Within Me
The Power of Positive Thinking: How to Overcame Some of Life Biggest Challenges
by Vivene Joy Brown


After surviving an abusive relationship, raising seven children, and wrestling with self-doubt and fear, Vivene Brown brings wisdom and insight to her memoir, and first book, Strength Of My Ancestors Within Me. A riveting story about a woman’s perseverance in her fight to break the cycle of violence and give her children more support and opportunity than she experienced growing up, this tale of reliance will inspire readers and encourage those fighting to be free from their own repressive relationships. Ms. Brown also traces the history of her ancestors, giving the narrative a setting that begins in 1923 Jamaica and continues into 2023 Canada. Her own history of neglect, abuse, and turmoil features prominently against a powerful backdrop consisting of a century of trials, overcoming, and self-discovery. Along the way, she uncovers secrets that have been hidden for generations, providing her with an even greater understanding of her past, and readers with a deeper appreciation of history and the scourge of slavery around the world. Ms. Brown offers her audience advice, insight, and lessons on love, family, and relationships. A wonderful book for adult readers of all ages and walks of life, Strength Of My Ancestors Within Me will engage and inspire!
