This book, "Diary of A Pastor's Wife ", was birthed in the small West African country of Liberia. I was born to a single mother who had me at the age of 14. My mother was a strong, hard-working, and courageous woman, well known in the community for her public service work. When she had me, she had no idea how to care for a child, so her aunt, with whom she was living at the time, helped raise me.
