A survivor of childhood incest, the author was inspired to tell her story in order to promote healing for incest victims. She currently lives alone in Toronto, happily single, surrounded by her children, grandchildren and many loving, supportive friends. She still finds solace in her crafts and although working full time, still makes time to create and sell her beaded jewelry and run an online business part time.

In her spare time she counsels other women on an informal basis, offering inspiration, comfort and hope.

She is now working on the next book in the “Shadows of the Mind” series.
