Life is not always easy or fair – realities that Sandra Braham is intimately familiar with. Dr. Braham has faced many struggles and obstacles throughout her life – a mentally ill mother, poverty, foster care, heartbreak and loss – and yet, by the grace of God, she has overcome those struggles and obstacles to build a family and career she can be proud of. As a result of all she has been through, Sandra has a story to tell. A story of adversity and triumph. Loss and love. Confusion and clarity. Ultimately, though, it is a story of faith, perseverance, and forgiveness. It is a story people of all ages, colors, and creeds can relate to and find hope in. It is a story in which God's grace and love are ever-present driving forces, even if it does not always appear that way.
