Be Inspired by God's Power in Your Life!

This mini autobiography in Short Story and Poetry form; is a compilation of miraculous experiences, a testimony of God’s love and power in my life. Even while enduring adversity, one can rejoice in God’s goodness and ‘be inspired’.

The story flow is authentic, but for discretion of characters, fictional names are used occasionally. The opening story of my mother’s life saving courage; is a tribute to her memory, in the hope of inspiring more attention to the causes of women. I hope that this account will bring greater understanding, that a woman with strong emotional support; will also have the strength to be there for her children and her family.

Author Biography

I, Abi Gale Wayne was born in 1964 to Catherine Gertude Hobbs (1946-1971) and Lionel C. Hill-Ashby (1918-2009). My mother, Catherine died when I was seven years old, and so most of my childhood was spent with my maternal grandmother, Orin Hobbs; and for a shorter period with my father, Lionel C. Hill-Ashby. I am thus, the product of two cultural persuasions; ‘the moral building stories’ of a Christian grandmother, versus ‘the wit and determination of the shrewd Businessman, my father. As a student, I excelled Literature and Visual Arts, but aspiring to be like my father, I pursued studies in Business Management.
