For Dear Life is Erica Bonner's raw, unfiltered, faith filled memior about a young Black girl surviving poverty, addiction, abandonment, the foster care system, teen motherhood, abusive relationships, and the weight of responsibilities she was never suppose to carry.
Raised on Chicago's West side, Erica learns early how to survive without the safety every child deserves. When instability forces her into a group home and the state system, she becomes a mother at fourteen and fights to build a life for her daughter while she is still trying to understand her own. Through heartbreak, family struggles, violence, sacrifice, amd motherhood, she keeps moving forward -even when survival is the only strength she has left.

When instability forces her into a group home and the state system, she becomes a mother at fourteen and fights to build a life for her daughter while she is still trying to understand her own. Through heartbreak, family struggles, violence, sacrifice, amd motherhood, she keeps moving forward -even when survival is the only strength she has left.
But For Dear Life is not simply a story about what happened to Erica. It is a story of what could not destroy her. Guided by intuition, strengthened by love, and protected by a God who remained present even in her darkest moments, Erica eventually begins to hela, forgive, trust herself, and reclaim the life she once fought merely to survive.
Honest, emotional, funny, and deeply human, For Dear Life is a testimony of transformation- a reminder that what happened to you may be part of your story, but it does not have to be the end of it.
