Raychel started a teaching career in 1982 and took a twelve year hiatus as a “stay-at-home mom/wife” who raised her children, coached volleyball, managed a softball team and earned a master’s degree in education during that time. She only recently retired from a 19 year stint as an adjunct professor from a local community college. Haven in the Hood is the fulfillment of a promise to Maria to chronicle these stories of her life in “the hood”. Maria, herself is a very spiritual person who derives her inspiration from daily prayer and scripture reading. While it is true that she has an extraordinary sense of intuition and premonition, she attributes her survival through the most difficult and dangerous of situations to the power of God and God’s will in her life.view less
