I am a mother, grandmother, stepmother, wife, Catholic, and writer. I love to read, write and watch sunsets on the beach.


Background Information

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.  After the clergy sexual abuse scandal in the Catholic Church, I decided I needed to write a book  about child sexual abuse, why it is difficult for survivors to tell their secret, and about the long term effects of the abuse. When writing the book, I discovered how God had been with me through it all and the book became a story of hope.

Accomplishments

Certified in spiritual direction
