When Corrie was in eighth grade, her English teacher, Mrs. McDuffie, admonished her via letter (written in pink ink) to never stop writing. According to McDuffie, Corrie had a gift. She began writing poetry and then song lyrics. Using these genres to express herself, she began to write short essays of inspiration after being baptized. Knowing that she had a personal story to tell, she wrote her first book, Expressions of Life by Daughters of the King, to motivate women in overcoming life’s challenges specific to them. The Truth Box, another compilation of short essays, expresses her thoughts and gives practical spiritual lessons on different happenings in her life and on things that affect all our lives. Corrie resides in Detroit, Michigan, and enjoys singing, bowling, family and friends.view less
