"I've Got Something to Say is a heartfelt and transparent account of the life of Dondretta Strong. Strong is an apt name for this woman who shares a full and transparent view of her life's journey. From the growing pains of youth to the blossoming of godly wisdom and grace, Strong takes the reader on a journey that reaches soaring heights and navigates the deepest, darkest lows. All the while, the hand of God is clearly at work throughout, weaving the beautiful tapestry of Strong's life with others along her journey. I've Got Something to Say is a great look at what God can do with a life that is surrendered to Him."
Eboné Bell, Chicago-based writer and editor
