I Am M. E.

Katrina R. Dailey introduces herself as a scribe, and this memoir follows the path of a life that many people walk in their own way. She is open about the challenges she has faced since she was seventeen, looking back from the vantage point of twenty-eight years later, at the time readers are holding the book.

For decades she let the opinions of others weigh her down and push her own identity out of view. A turning point came when she recognized that her experiences, whatever their quality, had brought her to where she stands, and that the sense of her own worth belonged to her alone. Even then, the criticism, the chatter, and the pressure to change kept creeping back in. One day, sitting on the edge of her bed, she wept with a plea for real help. She had to become desperate enough to truly want something different.

In that honest moment she felt a gentle pull and sensed a quiet reassurance that her story was not finished. A real transformation lay just ahead, one she would one day be able to speak and confirm aloud. She invites readers to share in her good news and to consider their own. The book is presented as a safe place, free from judgment, where you can drop your masks and be yourself. Throughout, she describes God as her closest friend, and she promises that readers who approach the book with an open mind may come to know him in the same way and find freedom.
