Book Cover & Preview Text
Cadence understood that for the sake of life, she had to for-sake every ruinous thing in her life. But to abandon those things of destruction; that which she had become so toxically accustomed to in all her journey, would be nothing less than life changing. But even more than that, it would prove to be life saving. Her life had been consumed by the unknown and a force that had to be reckoned with. A force that was harmful in all its ways; planting seeds of lies, despair, hopelessness, and sorrow into her mortality. It was evil and it came to rob her of everything God had intended her to have.

About the Book
A dramatic and compelling story of friendship, family, and one woman's plight; in her search for self love, truth, understanding, and her unmitigated gall to attempt to change the course of history as she knew it. Cadence takes a painful but necessary journey, through the contents of her marital relationship, and the involvement of the women in her ancestral life line who suffered through seemingly similar adversities, as it relates to the significance of the number seven.
She struggles with the basis of how and why they all found themselves trapped in cruel and loveless circumstances despite their efforts; how they sacraficed their dreams, aspirations, and even their sanity, for the men whom they'd loved, but for reasons beyond a larger scope, could never love them back.
About the Author
Bethel (pronounced Beth-l) Bates was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. With family as a loving, supportive, and magnetic force in her life, Bethel was able to devote much of her time to her writings from an early age. In her youth, she began to explore different writing techniques as her thoughts began to take shape and take on a whole new life of their own. She carefully took note of them, keeping pen and pad near her most times. It was very essential that she recall each monumental moment and her exact thoughts which paralleled them. She began to compose songs by age eleven. By age thirteen, she came to realize her potential and appreciation for her gift of writing poetry and short stories. Since then, she has evolved, fusing together short stories, poetry, and songs; thus resulting in the creation of novels and plays. Her writing has become more than just a past time for her, it has become a necessity. It has become life.
