This is my story.

Born into a poverty-stricken family in the 1950s, Rhonda Bond entered a world of challenges from her very first breath. Her childhood was marked by hardship that most people will never know — yet she carried within her a fierce refusal to give up.

Her story takes you down a road of extraordinary experiences: an overdosed death, a murder, and the weight of the most important decisions of her life — what is best for my baby and my baby's future? These were not small questions. They were the questions that would define everything.

With gusto and candor, Rhonda rose above it all, living by the cliché she made her own: 'It's going to get better.' And it did. Through it all, she finally realized something that had always been true — God had never left her.

Today, Rhonda Bond is a flight attendant for a major airline. She and her husband, Bob, live in Paradise Valley, Arizona — a life she once could only dream of, now fully, beautifully hers.
