She moved there with her family when it still looked like farm land. Houses were few and far between and there were no big shopping malls around there then. She justed loved how friendly all of the people were and they all had that country warmth about them. Now, Durham has been built up almost as much as the city, yet to her, it still posesses that same warmth about it and couldn't imagine living anywhere else. She enjoys meeting new people and making new friends. She also enjoys writing as a form of relaxation. She has published a children's book recently and now she has just finished her new book, "Escape." It will be her first published novel.
She enjoys helping people and hopes that her book will somehow help them to take a step back and see the similarities of her story. Sometimes, people don't realize that they are being abused or taken advantage of until they see it happening to someone else! That's when they say to themselves, "That's what was happening to me! How could I have been so blind?"view less
