Summary

My name is Sharon Dutra. I spent years surviving on the streets, using drugs to numb the overwhelming pain of rejection and abandonment. I experienced intense self-loathing and endured a life filled with foster care, abuse, and even prostitution—all in a desperate bid to escape my misery. One fateful day, a book about a gangster mirrored my own life so closely that it sparked a profound change within me. In that moment of transformation, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior. His forgiveness and love healed my broken heart and redirected my life. Today, I share my story in hopes that others who feel lost or broken will discover that no matter how dark your past, God’s grace can lead you to a new beginning.
