THE SEED OF MY WOMB is the companion book to If It Had Not Been for the Lord . The two books look at a life-altering injury from the perspective of a son (Wendell M. Manigault Jr.- If It Had Not Been for the Lord ) who was nearly killed in an accident, and his mother (Paulette M. Vanderhorst) who offered her loving support.

The seed of my womb is a journal that contains the day-to-day events recorded by Paulette M. Vanderhorst detailing her thoughts, experiences, and observations of the incident that nearly led to her son's demise. Through this first-person account, readers have the opportunity to see things from her perspective, offering valuable insight into what occurred, considering many at the time inquired about her state of being during the beginning stages of the incident. She hopes that people in today's society are touched by her infirmities, to the point they're able to pause for a moment, begin to reevaluate their ways of living, and then make efforts to conduct themselves in a manner that's honorable to God, themselves, and others.
