I give God the utmost praise for this book's first publication. To my family, myself, and all of my sisters out there.
I am thankful that you inspire me to keep this book going until it ends.
Since I find inspiration in writing, this book has been by my side always. It began as an immature thing and has now evolved into a mature one. which everyone may identify with. Life's experiences and obstacles cause a lot of changes that alter one's perspective for the rest of one's life. I hope you also received it, to gain knowledge from the past experiences of others. The best lesson, they had stated, is to learn from other people's experiences.
In particular, I dedicate this book to myself for persevering during my tenth year of writing, which started in 2015 and finished in 2025, and to all of my sisters who inspire me to finish it. Beginning with the original title, "The Sweet Escape written by celes0897," which was written by Celeste my pseudonym, a celestial star I was once influenced to become that shine in the darkest night, as we go on to the current title, "Tears in the Storm: A Heart's Journey."
To the readers of this book, my deepest and heartfelt gratitude. Thank you for letting these pages become a part of your journey. My hope is that, as you read, each chapter feels like a gift from me to you—a shared experience that brings insight, inspiration, or simply a moment of joy. May this book be a small light for you, as your presence and attention have been a light for me.
Happy reading, and thank you for joining me on this adventure!
