In a life full of change and tumult, stories have always been my solid ground. For over a decade, it has been my dream to be a part of that solid ground for others.
As a child of divorce and a survivor of intimate partner abuse, I know that the lasting trauma that comes from the people we love most can be the hardest to get over. The boundaries we must learn to draw, the ties we must sever, and the truths we must speak are a constant source of emotional challenge.
But in the midst of challenge, instability, and abuse, still, we find laughter. Still, we seek magic. Still, we rise. That lightness and humor with a touch of magic creates the shape and texture for all of my stories.
And it is my hope that I’ll help other women rise up and find their strength, too. Whether it’s the strength to pursue their dreams, leave their abuser, or simply speak their mind.
