I Swear | Janet Cahill | Kharidobechobooks

The book tells the gripping, true-life story of the author, Janet Cahill, who grew up in a severely impoverished community heavily afflicted by high unemployment, rampant crime, and drug addiction. Despite being surrounded by peers who frequently fell into trouble with the law, Janet was determined to break the cycle and carve out a different path for her future. 

Driven by the inspiring figure of her mother—who tragically lost multiple family members to substance abuse but successfully protected and raised her own children, alongside her deceased sister's kids—the narrative is a testament to resilience. Ultimately, the book serves as a story of hope and inspiration set against a backdrop of community destruction, where everyday people tried to survive alongside emerging drug lords.
