I wanted to carry on the rich tradition of story telling that existed in my family. I ached for my readers to laugh, cry, and feel emotions hidden deep in their souls.Time and circumstances were not in my favor to write until a few years ago when I found myself unemployed, living alone, recovering from an abusive relationship, and desperately struggling to keep my sanity.

In her story, I hope you discover something in this timeless tale that speaks to you.view less
