A large white sign, adorned with a photo of Dakima Hicks and the words, “I will never have it all together; I can only control me,” hangs on the west wall of the Daria Maria Boutique, downtown Washougal’s newest business.
Hicks took those words directly from her autobiography, “Inside This Dress: God Turned My Pain into Rose Petals.” She did not choose them by accident.
