Foreword by DeAndre Hopkins
In this extraordinary memoir, Sabrina Greenlee, the indomitable mother of NFL sensation DeAndre Hopkins, unveils her journey of triumph over adversityâa saga of tenacity, redemption, faith, and the profound reclamation of personal power.
Sabrina Greenlee was born to teenage parents in the shadow of South Carolinaâs Clemson University, and her story unfolds against the backdrop of her challenging upbringing in a family that lacked the meansâfinancial and emotionalâto offer her and her two brothers the safety, comfort, and love every child deserves. When she was a teenager, her beloved younger brother, Dilly, died in a drunk driving accident. In her early twenties, Sabrina faced the tragic loss of her fiancĂ© and one true love. A decade later, she was brutally and publicly assaulted, resulting in the loss of her vision.
After years of abusive relationships, Sabrina willed herself to achieve the kind of life she had always dreamed of. She became the loving and dependable mother she wished sheâd had, raising four childrenâ including star athletesâwho attended college and are successful in their chosen fields. She also found the courage to break the silence that enshrouded her life, ending the trauma that had damaged her family for generationsâallowing Sabrina and her kin to heal. Today she works to help other women assert their power and find the faith to have strength even when the future seems hopelessâjust as she herself has.
Grant Me Vision is her riveting storyâa memoir of resilience in the face of lifeâs most difficult challenges. It serves as a testament to faith and fortitude, encouraging others to confront their past and to make peace with it.
