      I am Enough - Rachael Riley

      Foreword

      Her presence was remarkable in my eleventh- and twelfth-grade Trinidad classrooms. I well remember—as a young high school teacher more than three decades ago—the statuesque, highly intelligent, and soft-spoken student who, in spite of her evident modesty, stood tall among her peers. Even then, she seemed destined for a future way beyond the norm. To see it being fulfilled is an absolute joy. I'm grateful to her for sharing this experience. I am thankful that, for a very brief moment, I was a passenger at some point along that journey, and I'm genuinely flattered to be afforded the privilege of writing this foreword so many years later. Thanks for the music, Rachael!

      It would have taken a professional eye to detect any trace of the internal struggles swirling around in her young life. Outwardly, she remained happy, well-adjusted, and suitably mannered, though always slightly reserved. Above all, she radiated that ever-present drive—that internal motivation—to succeed, to conquer, and to excel.

      Born in the US, Rachael came to Trinidad at a young age, to be schooled in her parents’ native land. Her goals were evidently well set, and she pursued them vigorously, even as she soaked up the exotic, tropical lifestyle. After high school graduation, she returned to the US to serve in the army. I knew that should she never reestablish contact, I would somehow hear or even read about her again. It just didn't feel like an ending. She simply wasn't the type to cease and settle for a dull, monotonous routine. I knew, in the way that teachers instinctively do, that she was one destined for the billboards.

      I confess to a tinge of sadness, but vindication, when she shared her personal journey of struggle, sometimes depression and despair, but ultimate accomplishment and triumph. Readers and soon-to-be followers are bound to find her book to be enthralling, emotional, and, above all, awesomely inspiring. Her mother and other close family members, I know, have all been integral instruments in her life's orchestra.

      I feel sure there are even more intriguing chapters waiting to be written. Who knows where this absorbing story goes? Perhaps 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? Don't you dare wager against this one!

      As an award-winning playwright (Secondary School's Drama Festival, Prime Minister's Best Village Trophy Competition), writer (Broadway Nights Mas on the Avenue, 2019), PhD (ABD), and educator (30+ years), I am proud to welcome Rachael as a colleague in the literary world.

      —James Baisden

      Preface

      I have withstood physical and emotional abuse, homelessness, and depression, so I write from a place of experience. I have been writing poetry since I was a teen; however, I decided to write this piece during the 2020 pandemic as mental health and domestic violence skyrocketed. It created a perfect opportunity for this type of story to be told. The stillness of life during this time allowed me to focus on defining my purpose to not be silent and bring awareness to such debilitating issues.

      Introduction

      Don’t let anyone dim your spark! As a divorced single mother who feels paralyzed and is drowning with guilt and shame, it is never easy to start all over again. Family, friends, and coworkers may never understand the decisions she makes, but in reality they also don’t know that she’s trying to escape the pain. This is a fictional story about the life
