I should have been number 18

### **She was supposed to become another name on the list.**Instead, she survived.Not cleanly. Not easily. Not without losing pieces of herself along the way.*I Should Have Been #18* takes you into the adrenaline, heartbreak, addiction, faith, and impossible choices of a woman living on the edge of danger—where every car could change the night, every decision could carry a price, and staying alive was sometimes the only plan.You will feel the cold streets, the silence after loss, the ache of a child taken away, the weight of a prison door closing, and the strange, unmistakable moment when God answers in a way meant only for you.But this story will not leave you in the darkness.It will take you through the memories that refuse to disappear—the bear that survived, the family history carried across generations, the women whose names still matter, and the fragile hope of building a life after everything has been taken apart.Raw. Gripping. Intimate. Unforgettable.A memoir about the kind of survival that follows you home—and the courage it takes to finally face it.**For readers of Jeannette Walls's *The Glass Castle* and Tara Westover's *Educated*.**### **Emotional. Gripping. Impossible to put down. A story that will stay with you long after the last page.**
