I am a Catholic convert and spiritual director. I also work as a church secretary at a Catholic church. I have had several articles published in Christian magazines.
I am also an incest survivor. I was sexually abused by my father for years.

When writing the book, I discovered how God had been with me through it all and the book became a story of hope.
