Book 1
Choose to Never Give Up
Abandoned as a baby, rejected as a child, and beaten by those who were supposed to care for her, Petronela’s story is one of unimaginable pain and unwavering hope. In this raw and deeply personal journey, Petronela shares how she endured abuse, rejection, and loneliness while holding on to a fragile belief that life could be better.
Through the darkness, she searched for love, belonging, and purpose. When all seemed lost, she discovered strength she did not know she had and a love greater than anything she had ever known.
Choose to Never Give Up is more than a story of survival. It is a testament to resilience, faith, and the power of hope. For anyone who feels forgotten, broken, or unloved, this book is a reminder:
You are not alone. You are not rejected. There is hope, and your story is not over yet.

Book 2
Choose to Never Give Up
Abandoned pain, rejection, loneliness, and loss shaped the early chapters of Petronela’s life, yet her story did not end there. In this compelling continuation of her journey, Petronela opens the door to the darker valleys she walked through and the fragile hope that refused to die within her.
Here, she shares the years marked by homelessness, addiction, identity confusion, abusive relationships, and the desperate longing to belong. She recounts the agony of searching for her biological mother after twenty years, only to face rejection again. She relives the grief of losing the grandmother who once saved her life, and the spiral that followed when her world collapsed.
Choose to Never Give Up, Book 2 is not just a memoir. It is a testament to the power of faith, forgiveness, and healing. It reminds every reader that no matter how far you fall, hope can still find you, mercy can still reach you, and your story can still rise again.
If you have ever felt lost, broken, ashamed, or unseen, this book is for you. Your past does not define you. Your scars are not your ending. There is a way forward, and your life is worth fighting for.
