About this ebook
C. Hankins
C. Hankins has always loved reading and writing. Throughout her schooling years, she struggled with writing, and her English tutors would point this out to her. Still, that did not stop her from making up stories and writing them at home, especially at a younger age. She felt more at ease because she was not being criticised or judged for the structure/grammar. At the age of 9 or 10, her love for writing in her diary began, and most evenings, she would reflect on her day and write about it. Christiana loved recounting and sharing her thoughts, sometimes expressing what she couldn’t convey to others in writing. As she grew older, she also fell in love with journaling and writing about everything: songs, poems, words of encouragement, testimonies/gratitude, and so forth. Once Christiana started writing about things, it could be endless, spending hours doing so. It’s a desire and passion that has permanently been embedded within her soul, that she finds hard to explain. Although, born in Sierra Leone, Christiana’s home is still in the UK, where she has spent most of her life growing up. She loves travelling, and she is blessed to be in a profession that does not limit but enhances her passion further.

Dedication
I dedicate this book to my cherished sister, Ann-Marie. Although the choice was never yours when it came to whom your father could be or how your early stage of building blocks was laid down, yet still, your worth and value are far more precious than what the physical eyes may see or behold. You are chosen, loved, and begotten. You are His, the One and True Only!
To the estranged fathers, may your eyes be open to getting a preview and snapshot of each choice being laid down by you. The fatherless, may you always know you are never alone but are forever surrounded by others who may be worthy of taking on the role you desire. Finally, to the fathers who reflect the true heart and description of the Heavenly Father, may you never stop burning that flame for all to witness and bestow.
