Hi, my name is Lil Red. I’ve been through more than some and less than others. All the same I’ve been through what is known as life on life turns as we all have. My story is my story, no one can take away or ADD to it. God saw me through it all so that I can tell it. God is my ultimate authority. Thank you God for all that you’ve done for me. If I went through and got through, so can you. This tale is about a young girl who got lost in the world and then she found God. This is an adult story about sex, drugs, lust, disobedience, and pain but before it’s all over, faith and God takes over the life of the little girl who became a God-fearing woman.
