description: &ldquo;Anita Carman&rsquo;s life has impacted thousands of women all across the world, including my own. Her commitment to shape lives has been a beautiful sight to behold. And that is why this story, of how her own life was molded, is even more powerful. In these pages, you will read the authentic and gripping saga of a woman, her mother, and the God who loved them both.&rdquo;<br> --<strong>Priscilla Shirer</strong>, Bible Teacher and Author <br> <br> &ldquo;In facing loss of loved ones, suicide, loneliness, abandonment, we find ourselves murmuring &lsquo;Oh that&rsquo;s why!&rsquo; It is then we &lsquo;get it.&rsquo; God is the God of perfect timing. Anita tells her amazing story of her relationship with her mother from the perspective of wisdom learned when she couldn&rquo;t praise Him for what He allowed but let the pain drive her to an all sufficient Christ! A must read.&rdquo;<br> --<strong>Jill Briscoe</strong>, Author and Inspire Women&rsquo;s Spiritual Mom <br> <br> &ldquo;Anita Carman&rsquo;s story is an incredible journey of God&rsquo;s grace and ultimately His placement of her as a woman of influence. God is using Anita and Inspire Women in big ways, but every step of the path has not been easy. Impact is forged in the furnace of perseverance. We live step by step taking our hurts, dreams and joys to Jesus allowing Him to make sense of them. <em>A Daughter&rsquo;s Destiny</em> is a journey of steps of grace leading to a life of impact.&rdquo;<br> --<strong>Kelly Matte</strong>, Wife of Gregg Matte, Senior Pastor of Houston&rsquo;s First Baptist Church <br> <br> &ldquo;I welcomed a novelized approach to teachings from a story that is compelling, intriguing, and connects to the base instincts of curiosity and the longing for answers that makes us want to buy a book and read it. And now I know my mother&rsquo;s story and my story are inextricably connected.&rdquo;<br> --<strong>Deborah Clifton</strong>, CEO of TarrenPoint <br> <br> &ldquo;I was pulled in from the first sentence. This story gave me much to ponder about my own life.&rdquo;<br> --<strong>Georgiana Nichols</strong>, Former President of Centerpoint Energy <br> <br> &ldquo;Anita&rsquo;s writing depicts her love for God and her enthusiasm for sharing her life for God&rsquo;s glory. If you have ever longed to add meaning and significance to your purpose as a woman of God, this book will encourage you to allow God to lead you on your journey.&rdquo;<br> --<strong>Ruby August</strong>, First Lady of The Church at Bethel&rsquo;s Family<br> <br> &ldquo;Inspire Women has a whole new meaning to me after reading your story. What a story of REDEMPTION, RESTORATION, and HOPE!!!! WOW!!!! Anita tells it in a way that I feel like I&rsquo;m living the story myself...I fell in love with James when her mom did. I cried with her mom when she had to leave sweet little Bobby. I couldn&rsquo;t breathe like your mom couldn&rsquo;t when Betty died, and so on. I am reminded that God is the ALPHA and the OMEGA...the BEGINNING and the END! I&rsquo;ve never looked at my mom&rsquo;s story and how it relates to my story but it&rsquo;s given me something to think about.&rdquo;<br> --<strong>Cara Berkman</strong>, Wife of Lance Berkman<br /><br /><br> &ldquo;I lingered on each word as if I was living Anita&rsquo;s life with her. I felt her pain, her mother&rsquo;s pain. Anita&rsquo;s story broke my heart, emptied my heart, then again filled my heart and mended it all over again. It read as if Anita sat in my presence telling me this story, talking face to face to each other as we relived her mother&rsquo;s dreams, hopes and pain. I cried throughout the reading. This book will touch the soul and stimulate the heart of any person, women and men, and take them on a journey of spiritual freedom.&rdquo;<br> --<strong>Mary Redmond</strong>, Owner of REDMOND MGT-McDonalds <br> <br> &ldquo;Thank you for sharing these stirring memories. What a powerful journey you have lived. I was uplifted after reading your book.&rdquo;<br> --<strong>Alvin Gee</strong>, Owner of Alvin Gee Photography <br> <br> &ldquo;Anyone who wants to defy the odds to live a life of greater purpose must read this book! In this heart-wrenching true story of a family&rsquo;s dysfunction, suicide and lost dreams, Anita Carman restores your hope in reaching for the impossible.&rdquo;<br> --<strong>Pat Williams</strong>, Senior Vice President and Co-founder of the Orlando Magic and author of <em>Leadership Excellence</em>
