    About this ebook

    Lessons From My Twenties is the quintessential compilation of real life experiences of Marquita Bradley as she navigated through life being young, fabulous and full of faith. From relationships to losing a parent, learning to communicate effectively and discovering who you are, this book shares various situations that often aren't discussed among twenty somethings. Marquita hopes that her experiences will help others know they are not alone, that we are all trying to figure out this thing called life, and prayerfully allow others to avoid some of her pitfalls. We must learn to let go of the past, embrace our now and look forward to the amazing future God has in store for us.
