Annotation

Camille grew up in a difficult home...raised by troubled and abusive parents, she did everything she could to not only survive, but to be better than those who raised her. Time passed, she conquered more than the odds pointed out was possible. And now a reverent marriage, a pure love unlike anything once presented... everything around her seems perfect, and a baby should signify the pinnacle of her fulfillment... However, nothing really turns out as it should... Conflicting emotions arise, making her question her ability as a mother and, above all, whether she wants to keep fighting against the odds.

There are thoughts that are prayers. There are moments when, whatever the position of the body, the soul is on its knees.

Prologue

Insecure.

That’s how I feel these past few weeks.

Even though my husband, Rafael, tries in every way to help, nothing seems to change, and I can’t tell you what’s really going on with me.

And the sabotaging voices in my mind, they’re constant companions, they don’t leave me alone.

It is strange to imagine that, until a few weeks, I believed I was at the peak of my happiness! For me, carrying, having a baby would be the culmination of my fulfillment as a woman, after all, this was my dream, this was one of the last dreams I longed for as a girl... but here, now, entering the sixth month of my pregnancy, I am no longer so convinced.

The fear of failure insists on accompanying me. He won’t let me make plans. I can’t even imagine the face of my little baby!

And along with this fear, comes thoughtless attitudes, attitude that has no forgiveness...

Which brings me to only one conclusion. I have no more strength to fight!

I don’t want to fight anymore.
