Dare to Persevere Priscilla Everett

One day after her high-school graduation, Priscilla Everett packed her bag and defied her father by boarding a Greyhound bus. She left rural Ellerbe and Rockingham, North Carolina, and headed to Niagara Falls, New York. Since her mother's death, Priscilla had been the lady of the house. She cooked, cleaned, and did laundry for her father and two younger brothers. She maintained her status as a straight-A student while achieving perfect attendance. And yet, it was never enough.



Her father repeatedly told her she would never amount to anything. Although he meant it as an insult, a way to stomp on Priscilla's dreams, little did he know that he was, in fact, having the opposite effect. Through the grace of God and an unwavering drive to prove her father wrong, Priscilla dared to persevere.



Her inspiring memoir features reflections on the trials of her early life that led to profound faith, occasional disappointment, and, ultimately, success. Priscilla's motivational quotes and practical lessons for resisting self-doubt and negativity will instill in anyone starting out in life the same determination and unwavering faith to overcome strife.

You'll never know what you can achieve unless you try.
