Still Standing

A Memoir of Survival, Love and Strength

Some stories entertain. Others leave a mark on your soul. Still Standing is the true story of a girl who learned about survival before she learned about safety. Born into a family already broken, taken from a violent home, and raised by the grandparents who quietly taught her what love was meant to feel like, Randa's journey moves through childhood abuse, a father lost to addiction, first love at twelve, and motherhood at seventeen. It is a memoir about the people who refused to let her stay lost, about grief that never quite leaves, love that changes shape but never ends, and the ordinary mornings that turn out to be everything. Raw, honest, and deeply moving, this is a story for anyone who has ever carried invisible scars and wondered if they would find their way back to themselves. Because no matter what she has been through, she is still standing.
