Cinco Ranch Ladies Book Club

Such an honor and a privilege to be invited to this incredible, fun group of ladies!

I met Janice Bigras at one of my book signings a few months ago. As soon as she read my book, she contacted me. Little did I know, she coordinated a fantastic book club in Katy.

It was a pure delight to be surrounded by fans who had read my story and were engaging. They listened to every word and asked thought-provoking questions. They thanked me for being brave (imagine that), for sharing my story, and for inspiring others.

This journey is a dream come true. What is my story about? It depicts a girl’s refusal to be defined by her environment as she seeks inner healing from the brokenness that we are all looking for. I believe you, too, will be touched and inspired. Remember that your yesterday does not have to define your tomorrow. I am living proof of that.

Make sure you order your copy today on Amazon or at any of your favorite online bookstores. I’m told they also make excellent gifts.
