A truly inspirational story

When your husband vanishes without a trace, there’s no telling what you might do. I wrote a book. Remember Me? which became a self-publishing success story. I had wanted to share my story of how I had managed to survive and rebuild my life. The writing of my first book set in motion a new journey of triumphant discovery. Who Do You Belong To? My second book continues my story, crafting an exuberantly independent life. My personal change journey led me to work in the change management and coaching fields where I use my experiences to help others embrace change in their lives.
