Foreword

Men seldom become leaders without a strong woman’s support; women seldom become leaders without a strong man’s interference. Ginger Shepherd is such a woman who has endured not mere interference but suffering caused by such a man. The author of When Life Catches You by Surprise, Ginger takes the reader on a journey of her life, showing how she emerged from despair to triumph as a leader among both men and women, causing the reader to reflect on his or her own suffering, and empowering them to emerge as triumphant leaders.
​ 
Surprises in life may come packaged in either good or evil, deserved or undeserved. At such moments one may be facing a crossroad in life, or forced down a one-way path toward what may appear to be a dead end of despair and turmoil. Ginger went down such roads more than once, not at her own choosing. How one handles these kinds of circumstances in life is a tough decision. The toughest decisions are usually the healthiest decisions—mentally, spiritually, emotionally, or even physically or professionally.

Staring reality in the face and embracing it, rather than running from it, may be the only way to change one's reality. Ginger's life is an example of courage in the face of hopelessness, pain in the face of torment and love in the face of hatred. Loving one's neighbor as oneself, come what may, has no agenda to change another human being but to transcend how you are treated - to become bigger and stronger than the evil facing you by the power of God who lives in you.

When Life Catches You By Surprise is the kind of story by a remarkable leader named Ginger Shepherd. I highly recommend it!
