Book excerpt: In her debut book, I Ate the Cake: A Journey for Justice, Darline Amos-McElroy detailed workplace abuse of harassment, retaliation, and racism from her bosses. As an educator and school counselor, Darline regularly taught students to advocate for themselves but finds herself in an almost 9-year marathon seeking justice alone. The author sought the assistance from upper-level administrators who admitted to the racism but left Darline wondering how justice prevails.After doing "the right thing," the author faced more than the job's usual demands. The right thing led to more retaliation and harassment, then discovering why her bosses felt empowered. Attempting to learn and use the law to assist her after the school district failed to execute justice, the author shares the many attempts to get help for governmental entities. Darline uses the challenges to learn the importance of resilience and the balance of love, forgiveness, and justice. The author encourages fellow Christians, through Biblical examples, to see the opportunity to be used as vessels in their daily lives. I Ate the Cake: A Journey for Justice, an emotional and Spirit-filled journey that engages the reader in sometimes comical, but a very lengthy trial of resilience and obedience to the call of Christianity.
