The founder of Moving Mountains Ministry Inc., and author of “100% Healed: A Mother’s Journey of Moving Mountains to Heal the Heart After Death and Divorce, Acetra has the desire to bring young adults of all ages together to fellowship with one another through sharing testimonies, trials, and revelations. What makes her qualified to mentor, coach, and speak? Acetra would say it’s because she has lost her mother, been married, divorced, a single parent, a widow, and has lost a child.
Acetra’s experience speaks for itself… her faith speaks for itself; her strength comes from God. Acetra’s hopes and prayers are that God will allow her testimony to assist in the healing of others despite their age, nationality, status, or beliefs.

Get your tissues because the first couple chapters will have you in tears. At least I was. I didn't think I would be able to finish the book because I just kept crying. But I finished it and am so proud that it was shared with us. It shows that you truly never know what a person is enduring in their lives.
