I have told you these things, so that in Me, you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. (John 16:33/NIV)

DEFYING THE ODDS

Deborah Ivey was only being honest.

For quite some time, she recalls, she admittedly procrastinated with regards to composing her first book nearly years ago.

But God…

“I was given (the vision for my first book) some time ago, but I let fear stop me from doing it and I procrastinated for years,” Ivey, during a recent interview with Making Headline News said, recalling the rash of developments surrounding her initial written work.

Still, even after putting off her first authorship adventure, Ivey’s Overcoming The Odds: The Story of A Woman Who Didn’t Give Up, to her credit, would ultimately become a highly-anticipated reality.

A book that took somewhere in the neighborhood of four years to assemble, Overcoming The Odds: The Story of A Woman Who Didn’t Give Up made its official debut in December 2020.

“My purpose is to help people,” Ivey said, explaining why she deemed it essential to spearhead her first book. “And I feel like it’s part of the bigger picture in helping people get free from their past so they can move on to their future.”

A riveting, fascinating published masterpiece that is comprised of 61 pages, Ivey’s Overcoming The Odds: The Story of A Woman Who Didn’t Give Up vividly reminds her readers that life has a way of making you stronger than you think you are, according to detailed synopsis of this Washington D.C.-based author’s book via Amazon.com.

“Children are innocent. At least that is how they start out,” said an Amazon spokesperson for Ivey’s Overcoming The Odds. “They have a unique way of looking at the world as one big rainbow. This book tells the story of one woman whose life changed abruptly as a child. It left her with a trauma marker that she would have to overcome to make her mark on the world.

“In this book, part memoir and part journal, Deborah Ivey is a small-town country girl who is loved by all. When her parents decide to move away from the south for a better life, she finds herself having unwanted experiences. As an adult, she decides to join the military in search for a better life. Borderline depressed, getting pregnant, living in poverty, Deborah decides to lean on the one thing that was a constant in her life, God. She finds out through a series of events, the better life she searched for was always in her.

“Read the story of the lessons she learned in life that brought her back from the brink of giving up. Overcoming The Odds is the tale of how the challenges of life are not meant to break you, but help you make your mark. Overcoming The Odds reveals the inner thoughts, feelings, and experiences of many women. It will empower you to face your challenges and take responsibility of the outcome.”

A native of New Zion, South Carolina, Ivey is no stranger to ever-evolving world of authorship.

Having graced the pages of a half dozen anthologies, Ivey in January 2023 witnessed the release of her second solo-authored book, this one entitled My New Bold Journal: A Woman’s Path To Showing Up Boldly For Christ.

“I created this journal to help empower and motivate you to do whatever it is your heart is set on doing,” Ivey said via Amazon.com. “The word, ‘cannot,’ should not be in your vocabulary. You can and you will push forward with whatever motivates you to be the best you.”

Other books, Ivey said, are forthcoming.
