Rosyln B. Jones states: "I wrote this book (now a movie) to help anyone who has been through some of the situations that I've endured, such as: abandonment issues, being abused as a child, being a runaway, incarceration, teenage pregnancy, being abused verbally and physically by a spouse and much more. There are people out here that are smiling on the outside and hurting on the inside. For those of you that are feeling like you're all alone and you don't know who to turn to or trust, or are afraid because you don't want to be judged this book is for you. For those who don't know how to love yourself and feel that you're unworthy and looking for love in all the wrong places, this book is for you. For those who feel like you just can't go on and you want to give up, this book is for you. I've had to deal with being bullied and abuse to the point where I tried to commit suicide, so I know what you're going through because I've been through it. I feel if my story is told it can help someone, when you read what I've been through and how God healed me and restored me that it will give you hope in knowing God will do it for you as well. No matter how broken you may feel there is nothing to hard for God. I live in Florida, haven't been incarcerated in over fifteen years. I have two adult daughters and I am now raising my two grandsons. I love fishing, reading, riding motorcycles, cooking and most of all serving God. Along the way people have given up on me and some said I'd never amount to anything or won't ever change. But God...  

COLBY as "Teen Roslyn" did an amazing job. All we can say is stay tuned for more of COLBY CHRISTINA on the big screen.
