Crown Up: My Story, My Way - Paperback

Amid a civil war, a mother and daughter become refugees in Liberia, Africa. At a young age, Levia fled from her country with her mom. They came to America in hopes she would get an education and a better life. Although moving to a new foreign country would be a scary change for any child, Levia understood the political issues and poverty they'd left behind to achieve a successful and happier life. The "American Dream" that Levia thought she would have rapidly progressed into a full nightmare.

Alice gradually became mentally unstable, and Levia was placed in foster care, losing her only connection to her culture and herself. Through life-changing events, she must weather the strongest storms and navigate on faith, all in the hopes to see a rainbow at the end of it all.
