All my life I was troubled within myself, my true identity was hidden from me, and discovered when I was fifteen years old. I suffered such a profound life growing up in an emotional and physically abusive home. I was finally convinced that writing about my life would bring me some peace of mind...So I began to write in 2007 at the age of 67, it took six tormented years to write my book.  It was emotonaly draining, and depressing. Culminating in my discovering something very crucial along the way ... and the reason for much of my tormented life as an adult.
