Fay Moore 
Bent but Not Broken 
Survival Guide for the Soul

The storms of life will blow and at times make us feel all alone and ready to give up. With encouraging words and knowing youre not in this alone, that feeling can make you strive to make it through another day. We are all a little bent, but thank God, we are not broken to the point of unrepair. Through the forty-day reading and using the reflection pages, I believe you will discover how strong you are and know that youre not on this ride alone. I been there and understand and sharing what I faced with you. We are bent but not broken.

عن المؤلف

My name is Fay Moore. I was born on Monday, June 10, 1974, in Brooklyn, New York, inside Kings County Hospital to two wonderful parents who are from the beautiful island of Barbados. My mother was told that she had to prepare for a dead baby, and they even brought the priest to read me my last rights. My mom was given the Psalm 23 to take with her. It is my favorite in the Psalms. It just goes to show you that when people try to write you off or tell you what your fate is, you shouldn’t get discouraged because God has the final say.

I was married to my boyfriend, and we were blessed with beautiful twins—a boy and girl, just like I asked for. That’s right. Before we were married, we had a conversation, and I told him we would have twins—a boy and girl—and that would be it. Talk your blessings into existence. Three years after our marriage, I became a single parent and widow all in one day. Talk about a roller-coaster ride that I was not ready for. This was the start of me writing more and more as therapy for myself. You have no idea what comes out when the pen hits the paper.

I continue writing and have submitted and had two of my poems printed from poetry.com. I included them in this book. I currently write plays for my church, where the young people perform.

This book is written to help encourage those who are on this crazy roller-coaster ride called life. I can truly say you’re not alone. Feel free to send me messages on my Twitter, @bendbutnotbrok2.
