A City Set on a Hill The Courage to be Seen

"The truth is Womanhood didn't come easy, I fought to get here"- Shamina Allen Experience one of the most heartfelt autobiographies ever told. Follow a little girl from the Bronx as she fights her way to womanhood and celebrates her emancipation from the chains that held her back far too long. In this powerful testimony of love, life and loss Shamina invites us on a trip down memory lane as she revisits the darkest days of her life, her stolen childhood, her endless struggle with love and her marriage to a transsexual man that almost cost her life. A City Set on a Hill forces you to question what makes a woman and how much of you actually belong to you and how much of you represents the baggage, insecurities, and mistakes of others. This story shakes the core of the soul and up roots the personal truths that none of us are ever truly ready to face. This story reflects the love of God and the persistence of the devil in the lives of those who are chosen for greatness. It's a reminder to all that "weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning"- Psalm 30:5
