Bree Brown, a second-time mother, was told by Dr. Coby Wright that her newborn, Brenaji Marshae Brown, would never walk or be able to use her hands. But God had other plans. Brenaji ended up walking. This was proof that not even doctors know everything. When Brenaji went to school she found out she was different. Why had no one in her family told her she was different? Brenaji would find out about herself from a new girl that she befriendedKimmy Timpson. Her life would be changed forever. Brenaji started getting bullied in school in fourth grade and told no one. It was when she got held back in fourth grade by the principal, Mrs. Zoey Kimble, that things would get worse. But little did Brenaji know, there would be a new teacher, Mrs. Traneice Bowen, who was after destroying her life. Brenaji had more obstacles to face. It was then that God presented two paths for her to walk on. What were the paths God presented to her? Which path would she walk on?

My name is Brenaji Marshae Brown. I was born on May 15, 1990, to my mother, Bree Brown, on a cold day at a hospital in California. I wasn’t the only child she had. I had a two-year-old sister, Breann Brown. I was born with deformities. I had bilateral clasped thumbs and fingers and clubbed feet. My thumbs were both bent into the palm of both my hands. Dr. Coby Wright said to my mom I would never walk due to the condition I was born with, with my feet, and he also said I wasn’t going to be able to use my hands without surgery. Dr. Coby Wright referred my mom to go to the hand- icapped children’s clinic. As a result of my deformities, I had to have surgery. Quinsy Dunn, MD, was assisted by Mike David, MD, and they both performed surgery on my clasped thumbs and deformed hands. My right hand had a more severe congenital clasped thumb. After surgery, I had to wear casts on both my hands. I had vertical talus correction done by doctors Magellan Thanh and Odom Gooding, which resulted in me wearing leg cast

As believers, we know there is nothing too hard for God. Still, there will be trials that come. Our faith in God will sustain. In hurt, heartache, and pain, our strength rests in Jesus. Having knowledge of the word will guide us through in moments of difficulty. Traveling down an unfamiliar path in life can be frightening. Not knowing all that the future entails can be devastating. On this journey, your belief in God will bring you out. In events of crisis we are strengthened. Psalms 124:8 says, "Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth." God will instruct you on how to walk; he will be our example in these times. Things will get hard, but you must keep the faith. He knows all about us, from every disappointment to each issue we face. How we walk in our storms determine the outcome. If you ever desire to know who God is in life, let him take you through a storm. When you come out praising him, you will know for yourself that you are somebody in the Lord! To God be the glory for all he has done. In loving memory of my late husband, L. T. C.

Ricks / I am a walking testimony / 2 This book is inspired by my first book titled The Dedication to the Trial of My Life. I want my readers to know the true story behind the poetry and how a strength greater than myself helped me along the way of my life's journey. This great spiritual being was there throughout my childhood and still is the significant part of my life. I am talking about God, ladies and gentlemen. If it was not for him, I would not be here today. I owe him everything that I am. So with this book, I give him all the glory because he inspired me to write it. In my darkest hour, I birthed out my life's story. I hope this book sends a powerful message to those who have been labeled the middle child, the black sheep, and lets them know though ostracized and set apart they are still somebody who was born with a purpose and an identity.

New York Times Bestseller • On the 40th anniversary of The Band’s legendary The Last Waltz concert, Robbie Robertson finally tells his own spellbinding story of the band that changed music history, his extraordinary personal journey, and his creative friendships with some of the greatest artists of the last half-century. Robbie Robertson's singular contributions to popular music have made him one of the most beloved songwriters and guitarists of his time. With songs like "The Weight," "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," and "Up on Cripple Creek," he and his partners in The Band fashioned a music that has endured for decades, influencing countless musicians. In this captivating memoir, written over five years of reflection, Robbie Robertson employs his unique storyteller’s voice to weave together the journey that led him to some of the most pivotal events in music history. He recounts the adventures of his half-Jewish, half-Mohawk upbringing on the Six Nations Indian Reserve and on the gritty streets of Toronto; his odyssey at sixteen to the Mississippi Delta, the fountainhead of American music; the wild early years on the road with rockabilly legend Ronnie Hawkins and The Hawks; his unexpected ties to the Cosa Nostra underworld; the gripping trial-by-fire “going electric” with Bob Dylan on his 1966 world tour, and their ensuing celebrated collaborations; the formation of the Band and the forging of their unique sound, culminating with history's most famous farewell concert, brought to life for all time in Martin Scorsese's great movie The Last Waltz. This is the story of a time and place--the moment when rock 'n' roll became life, when legends like Buddy Holly and Bo Diddley criss-crossed the circuit of clubs and roadhouses from Texas to Toronto, when The Beatles, Hendrix, The Stones, and Warhol moved through the same streets and hotel rooms. It's the story of exciting change as the world tumbled through the '60s and early 70’s, and a generation came of age, built on music, love and freedom. Above all, it's the moving story of the profound friendship between five young men who together created a new kind of popular music. Testimony is Robbie Robertson’s story, lyrical and true, as only he could tell it.
