Los Angeles Times Review:

Gloria Conyers' Salvaged and Saved is more than a memoir—it is a testament to the unbreakable human spirit, a declaration of survival, and a celebration of faith’s power to transform pain into purpose. Through poetry, prose, and short stories, Conyers weaves an evocative narrative of perseverance in the face of homelessness, hunger, abuse, and debilitating health battles. Yet, amidst these trials, her voice rises not in despair but in triumphant gratitude, affirming that through God, all things are possible.

Each page carries the weight of experience but also the buoyancy of hope. Her poetry is raw and rhythmic, her short stories pulse with emotion, and her prose provides an intimate window into her journey from struggle to salvation. Conyers does not merely recount hardships—she offers a roadmap to resilience, inviting readers to lean on faith, to find solace in creativity, and to believe in restoration.

For anyone facing their own storms, Salvaged and Saved is both a guiding light and a comforting embrace. It reminds us that no matter how deep the waters may rise, we are never beyond the reach of grace. This book is not just an account of survival—it is a testimony of triumph

I really would like to experience this incredible accomplishment in person. So, I am asking for financial contributions for flight, lodging and food expenses.
