The Girl Born in the Elevator: Born Too Early, Saved Just in Time is a raw and redemptive memoir of survival, faith, and the relentless search for belonging. Born prematurely in 1967 and abandoned by her mother, Angela Martin entered the world fighting for every breath. Her earliest lullabies were the beeps of NICU monitors, a foreshadowing of the struggles to come. Through vivid storytelling, Angela chronicles a life marked by childhood trauma, foster care, homelessness, addiction, and abuse-but also resilience, humor, and grace. Her journey spans small-town adventures in Illinois, the chaos of the streets, a near-fatal overdose, and an improbable path to healing as a hospice nurse and national leader. Along the way, love arrives in unexpected places-through family, friends, faith, and the God who never let go. Both heartbreaking and hopeful, Angela's story invites readers to find beauty in brokenness and courage in the darkest valleys. The Girl in the Elevator is more than a memoir; it's a testimony that no life is beyond redemption and no past too shattered for grace to rewrite.
