Snapshots of My Life: The Moments that Shaped My Story

About The Author

Snapshots of My Life by Dr. Coylette James (AKA Tonya Coleman-Butler) is a deeply personal memoir that captures the resilience and transformation of a woman who defied the odds from the beginning. Born as an orphan and facing challenges such as teenage motherhood, the search for identity, and the trials of life without a father, Tonya's story is one of relentless determination.
Through poignant reflections and raw honesty, Tonya invites readers into the defining moments of her life, including the heart-wrenching discovery in her 60s of her biological parents, culminating in the shocking revelation that her father was a part of the infamous Jim Jones cult. This memoir is not just a recounting of past events but a powerful testament to the strength of the human spirit and the power of faith in overcoming life's most challenging obstacles, and a fascinating journey of self-discovery.
Because of the in-depth revealing of true-life experiences as they relate to Dr. Coylette’s life and those around her, she changed the names of some of the participants in her life’s story. However, she states the experiences are real. With "Snapshots of My Life," Tonya Coleman-Butler offers hope, healing, and empowerment to all who seek to understand the complexities of their own life stories.
