It’s Never Too Late for a New Beginning

About this book

Find hope when you see that it is never too late for a new beginning.

This book is for…

Every person who has experienced struggle and hardship
Every person who knew there was more out there than their own surroundings
Every person who dreamed and wanted more
Every person who hoped to inspire others

When Dr. Lucille O'Neal became a mom as a teenager, she knew one thing was true: She would always love her children. That love, as well as a fierce determination to overcome every setback and stereotype along the way, carried her through difficult years of parenthood, the grip of addiction, and the pain of divorce.

In While I Have Your Attention, an updated memoir, Lucille shares her struggles, disappointments, memories, and proudest accomplishments. Lucille's remarkable life is the story of a woman who prevailed despite enduring a host of obstacles and trials. And as she shares her incredible story of stepping from poverty and loss into hope and a renewed faith, she will inspire you to keep moving forward even when you come up against seemingly insurmountable challenges in life.

Along the way, Lucille shares some of her most joyful memories and painful experiences, including:

  • Childhood
  • Teenage pregnancy
  • Marriage
  • Parenthood
  • Divorce
  • Education
  • Becoming a grandparent
  • Helping others get more out of life

 

Drawing upon her own trials, victories, and second chances, Lucille is passionate about speaking words of encouragement to people of all ages. Whether you want to cultivate a deeper self-love, live with greater confidence, or embrace your purpose more fully, While I Have Your Attention will inspire you to remember that it's never too late for a new beginning.
