Tempting Temperance

Tempting Temperance is a raw and resilient coming-of-age story that travels through survival, silence, rage, and spiritual awakening. Told through Vanessa Clark's perspective, it reveals what it looks like to break generational curses and reclaim your truth-without losing yourself in the process.

Vanessa shares her real-life journey of becoming-utilizing her ability to read energy, navigate betrayal, and protect her peace in a world full of noise. Through rage, love, faith, and observation, she begins to see the truth behind people, patterns, and pain.

But this book is more than survival-it's about staying clear in a world designed to cloud your vision. It's about knowing who you are when they try to define you as everything you're not-out of spite-and choosing to remain in your power and rise anyway.

Vanessa doesn't write to be pitied-she writes with precision, insight, and lived experiences to give others perspective, a sense of faith, and a reminder that they're not alone.

She observed. She endured. She remembered.

Now she is both the process and the bloom.

This is the story of a woman who rose with her own hands, her own heart, and her own knowing. A reminder that even the quietest ones are built different. That discernment is power. And that grace, when protected, becomes unstoppable.
