Other chapters in the book deal with women not having a good relationship with their mother, and domestic abuse.
“A lot of people have gone through abuse, so this book would be perfect for them,” said Denise Hopkins, of East Liberty, who read the book a month ago. “We need to get back to realizing how important we are. There’s a lot of scriptures in the book to keep you going. You feel like someone understands how you feel.”
Manley, who grew up in Garfield and now lives in Tarentum, said “Inspire to Conquer” is mostly for women, 13 years of age and up. But men can learn from the book as well. It’s a compact read so people can finish the book in a few hours.
Manley wrote her first book, “Through the Fire but not burnt,” nine years ago. She began writing “Inspire to Conquer” two years ago, and penned the final words a few months ago. “I want to write things that inspire,” she said. “Things people read and come away feeling stronger, feeling encouraged. They can come out reading the book saying, ‘I don’t have to be in this bad relationship, I can conquer this, I can go back to school.’ No matter what you’ve gone through, you can still accomplish your goals.”
