H.S. Dropout, Junkie, Alcoholic, Prostitute, Pathetic, Victim, Helpless, Hopeless, Failure, Sober, Lawyer, Faithful, God-Centered, Author, Speaker, Coach, Consultant...

all words that describe her amazing life, which reads like a great American novel. The kind where the heroine overcomes INCREDIBLE odds, and then turns around to help others do the same.                                 

Any one of these things, a person would aspire to do in one lifetime--Francine has done them all, and then some...her story in brief:

She's been where few people have been and lived to tell the story!       

• Born in Atlanta and raised in poverty in New York's South Bronx;
• Addicted to drugs and alcohol until 26 years old, she was deemed a life failure with a 1% chance of survival;
• Hit by a car at 26 and told she'd never walk again;
• Lived as a hopeless, helpless, pathetic victim of life--WHO bought into that message;
• Allowed fear, failure, and disappointment to control her view of the world.

Today, hers is a story of resilience, endurance, and a faith that works under all conditions.

Francine Ward proves that success in life is not just about having confidence or having the right pedigree; it’s about making right choices and being willing to overcome the inevitable obstacles that are bound to get in your way.
