‘My desire is that my story may help someone else walking through similar circumstances I once walked,’ Mary Ann Perez author of Running in Heels

About a week ago Natasha Collins with http://literarylifestories.com invited me to be a guest on her wonderful blog and to share with her readers a little about my journey in writing “Running in Heels.” She knew my desire was to reach out to others going through or who have gone through similar struggles that I mentioned in my memoir.
