My mother and life experience is what influenced me to write " All I  Had Was Your Birth Certificate" ( and Memories That Remain) I watched all this happen to my mother as I was growing up that's why I wanted to share her story with women everywhere that have struggled with the lost of a child through death,abduction. On the other hand,even a child that has runaway. This story has a prevalent impact that affects our society today. It is a story that affects lives,changes and destroys families everywhere.
