Overcome by a Testimony is a book about the first half of Shervanne Evelyn Gatson's life. Though she is only 50 years old, her life has been everything but easy. This book tells of her trial and tribulations. The road she took to become who she is today. She has been impacted by a lot of people, both positively and negatively. We are who we are; the good, the bad, and the ugly. Everyone has a story to tell, and this is hers. She has led a life of abuse, fear, and low self-esteem, just to name a few things she has gone through in her early years.

The book is meant to help those who feel lost and abandon, who feel like they are all by themselves. People do not tell their stories because of the guilt and shame, of feeling like the things they have gone through are their fault. This book takes the blinders off your eyes by not just exposing your pain but showing you how to get through it and get to the other side. This book is part one of her life, which starts at the beginning of life into her early adulthood. Get ready to laugh, cry, and be inspired.
