About Me
As you will discover when you read my books, I was sexually and ritually abused as a young child. The early exposure to this kind of trauma affected the way I perceived myself and others. Not the least of my challenges was an overwhelming, entrenched belief that I was unlovable and even "bad." My books show how I went through a lengthy process to learn that others could actually love me.
Another great challenge (and as it turned out . . . a strength) in my healing process was the fact that I had split into many different "parts." These parts took on different aspects of my abuse to protect me from the horror. My books will introduce you to many of these parts. You may also read how they expressed themselves in poetic ways.
Today, I am happily married to a wonderful man. Most who have only become acquainted with me later in my life would find it difficult to recognize me from the way I'm described in my books. I truly went through an amazing process to become who I am today and I'm very happy to share how God blessed me in this process. I know He can bless you too.
Although I have both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in accounting, I now spend my time speaking to as many different groups as my schedule permits sharing my story of hope, change and healing.
I have presented to a wide variety of different groups including various Expos, business groups, high schools, healing groups, luncheon groups, book clubs, and church groups. I have been interviewed on K-TALK Radio as well as Blog Talk Radio. In addition, I shared my story in an hour program on a Spanish Radio station with a translator. I also gave a presentation at the Annual Federal Bar Association Criminal Law Seminar at the Federal Courthouse in Salt Lake City. I have presented in several different states including: California, Hawaii, Idaho, Texas and Utah.
