Book Cover & Preview Text
I Release the Pain I remember when I was little watching mom go through so many things, trying to feed four kids with little money eating neck bones with green beans. She tried to stay strong; adversities had her mind so gone. She was full of anger with pain, smoking weed to stay sane, drinking day after day to numb the pain. She didn’t know how to regain; her soul was dying, and we felt her rage each day. I understood. I withstood with unconditional love, holding her in my arms with a soft rub. She was a good person. It was hard to see at times, asking me to get her a dime; it was a crime! Our house was the spot on the block. People in and out late at night, I grew up full of fright with no respect for self.

About the Author
LaDonna McLemore was born on February 22, 1976, as a twin, to Dianne and Jerry Booker in Inkster, Michigan. By the time LaDonna was six, her environment was filled with several forms of abuse and aggressive violence. Chaos and rejection caused her to have no self-worth, and at nineteen she was a broken mother of two beautiful children. LaDonna found herself in an abusive relationship for several years, not knowing what real love was.
Life would continue beating her down, and she started seeking God for help. In 1998, LaDonna accepted Jesus Christ as her savior. She attended Eagle’s Way Full Gospel Ministries.
Poetry is LaDonna; she discovered her talents through adversities of life.
LaDonna received her GED and studied at Wayne County Community College, also gaining other trades. She’s perusing her dreams as an entrepreneur. LaDonna is married to Harold McLemore. They reside in Detroit, Michigan, with their three smaller children. The journey of LaDonna has healed and strengthen her mentally. Her motto has been “Giving up is not an option.”
