I WILL Survive

I WILL Survive is a powerful memoir of pain, perseverance, and the unshakable will to rise again.

What do you do when the person you loved most becomes the source of your deepest pain? What happens when your best friend dies trying to save you? How do you keep going when grief knocks on your door again...and again?

In this expanded edition of I WILL Survive, author Cerlisa courageously shares her deeply personal story-one marked by trauma, loss, and unimaginable heartache. After surviving an attempted murder at the hands of someone she once trusted and loved, Cerlisa is thrust into a whirlwind of tragedy that includes the sudden loss of her father, the devastating death of her best friend, and the passing of her mother shortly after. Each chapter of her life seemed to bring a new layer of pain-but also a new opportunity to fight for herself, her healing, and her future.

Now featuring two brand-new chapters, this updated version of I WILL Survive digs even deeper into the journey of transformation. Cerlisa doesn't hold back. She writes with raw honesty, allowing readers to walk with her through the moments of brokenness, the whispers of hope, and the decision to not just survive, but thrive.

This book is a lifeline for women-young or seasoned-who have experienced domestic violence, grief, trauma, or emotional hardship. With powerful affirmations, heartfelt tributes, and lessons learned through lived experience, I WILL Survive is a reminder that healing is not linear, but it is possible. It's a declaration that your story doesn't end with the pain. It continues with purpose.

Cerlisa's story is one of triumph through tears, strength born from sorrow, and faith that refuses to waver.

She survived.

And her message is clear:

"I WILL survive. And so will you."
