Christian living is not for the faint of heart. Life decisions based on Christian principles can often land on the road less traveled. However, it is on the road less traveled, the magnitude of walking by faith is revealed. Faith that pleases God but can anger the soul. I Ate the Cake: A Journey for Justice is a nonfiction but fictionally crafted memoir. The journey of the author's decisions to surrender her fears, desires to retaliate, and personal career aspirations become the opportunity to bring change. A change that is much needed. Change in the leadership who orchestrated neglect of children and employees trusted in their care.

In two hostile workplace environments within the same school district, the author shares her internal struggles to apply previous spiritual lessons. Finally, Darline realizes that amid her influences, she must take a stand.
