She published this sequel Enduring the End as the second half of the illness, a tale of surviving the effects it has on a marriage and family. Afton is the mother of three children: Hillary, a sophomore in college, Zach, a sophomore in high school, and Greg, a seventh grader in junior high.
After nineteen years of marriage, Afton now faces a new chapter in her life as a widow, but continues to find joy in the journey. Afton is a small business owner, teaches in Mesa Public Schools, volunteers in her community and serves in various church callings and opportunities.
Afton began writing at an early age by keeping a journal. Through writing, Afton developed a voice that speaks to her readers. As she shares her joy in the little moments, despite the trials and hardships that are often associated with life, she inspires others to find joy as well. Through writing and speaking, Afton hopes to encourage individuals and families who deal with difficult challenges to continue in faith day by day.view less
