Author Description

For a long time, I've felt the urge to share my story. Writing it has been a painful and yet a cathartic experience. Much of the initial part of the story was buried deep in my mind. Trying to bring those memories to the surface and present them in a coherent way and in some sort of chronological order has been challenging. Later parts of my story were easier, as I had diaries to refer to.With my hand on my heart, I can honestly say that what I've chosen to share in the pages of this book, are true to my memory of them. Some people's names have been changed to protect their identity. It would be nice to think that my story might help someone and encourage them to share their story. I believe every person has a book inside them... a story to tell, a testimony to share. I would like to think my book might be the encouragement they need to put pen to paper.
