CLEVELAND — “I’m a very strong person. That was the one thing that broke me down to nothing.”
They say time heals all wounds, but for Tonya R. Godwin-Baines it was more about putting pen to paper. That's why she spent nearly three years writing a book:
From Grief to Grace.
“I just think that my book came out at a time that it was really, really needed.”
Four years ago Friday, Tonya lost her father, Robert Godwin Sr., on Easter Sunday. He was collecting cans in the Glenville area when his killer, Steve Stephens, recorded the moment he opened fire and uploaded footage of the crime to Facebook.
