STILL HERE: A Single Mother's Journey Through Love, Loss, Survival, and Faith (ebook)
Still Here is a raw and courageous memoir of survival, faith, and quiet resilience.
In this deeply personal story, Esonasihle Mbixane shares her journey as a single mother navigating love, betrayal, abuse, motherhood, financial hardship, and faith — often all at once. This is not a story of perfection, but of endurance, told with honesty and grace.
From becoming a mother while still discovering herself, to escaping a relationship disguised in faith, to raising three children largely on her own through seasons of debt, loneliness, and uncertainty, Still Here reflects the lived reality of many women — yet few dare to speak it aloud.
Through heartbreak and exhaustion, prayer became her anchor.
When support disappeared, faith remained.
When strength felt impossible, she stood anyway.
Written from the middle of the journey, not the end, Still Here is not a testimony of arrival — it is a story of becoming. It speaks to the woman still figuring life out, still rebuilding, still carrying responsibility alone, and still hoping for better days ahead.
This book is for:
- the single mother doing her best with limited resources
- the woman healing from emotional or spiritual abuse
- the believer questioning God in the storm
- anyone who has ever felt tired, overwhelmed — and yet unwilling to give up
Still Here is a reminder that survival is brave, healing takes time, and choosing to continue is an act of courage.
