Non-Fiction Memoir
This is the story of Verna Griffin. A woman who gave birth
to five children, losing two in infancy and one to gangland
violence. Her surviving son is one of the most famous men
in the world, and her daughter is a homemaker with children
of her own. From Verna's turbulent childhood to her failed
marriages and the problems that came along with Dre's fame,
she has grown a thick skin and learned to overcome life's
obstacles. As Verna struggled to give her children a safe
and happy home amid the gangs and violence that made up
South Central Los Angeles, she also searched for a good man
to love her. She hit brick walls several times while trying
to reach these goals. During Verna's personal struggles she
felt lost and desperately fought to find her purpose in the
world. With the invaluable support from her tight-knit
family and the gradual recognition of her great self-worth,
Verna has persevered. This is a tale of a woman who faced
constant battles head-on, who learned to transform failure
into triumph, and whose inspirational story is one for us
all.
