CHICAGO, Ill. – Feb 1, 2021 – Once There Was a Girl is the poignant true story of Wendy, a young black woman struggling to grow up in a housing project in New Orleans. Facing abject poverty, rampant crime, and formidable challenges, she believes against all hope that she will somehow survive. Her mother teaches her how to pray — and pray she does — even when all hope of a better life seems fleeting and perhaps impossible. As time passes, Wendy struggles not to give up and fervently asks God to perform a miracle and deliver her from the projects to the world she hopes and dreams of.
According to Martha E Casazza, Ed.D. Educational Consultant and Author. Wendy Randall has written a memoir that will inspire others to believe in themselves and take charge of their lives. Her insightful reflections demonstrate her grit, courage, and a strong belief in herself. Wendy developed coping tools early that continued to motivate her as she moved through life. She powerfully describes her security blanket of escape: daydreaming. She never let go of those daydreams and did whatever was necessary to ensure they came true. As she states so well, “I believe that I will not succumb to my environment.” This story is one of tremendous courage and determination.

Wendy Randall loves encouraging people to persevere and has spent her life working as a substance abuse counselor and educator.

In her memoir, Wendy illustrates how a praying mother, her faith in Jesus, and perseverance kept her from succumbing to a poverty-stricken and crime-ridden environment and led her to see her dreams come true.
