I began writing professionally after some soul searching led me to reflect on where I was in my career and what I really wanted to do. I knew that answer was, write! Soon, I was writing articles for local newspapers and looking for other opportunities. Eventually, I became involved in the issue of grandparents raising their grandchildren and wrote my first book, a non-fiction work, RAISING OUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN, which has recently been updated and will be re-released July 2014. My novel, The Forgotten Roses, is a story about choices women face, family, a mystery and a little magic. In addition to Blogging for the Huffington Post, I'm working on a new novel.
“We are all inexorably wound together as individuals, as families, as communities, and as a society. We must take care to value, accommodate, and, at times, assist the variety and diversity, each unique facet, in the noble work - the blessed art - of family.”

“I had seen a photograph of Sara at two. In it, her hair is platinum and falls around her face in happy disarray. She is dressed in yellow. Babyhood clings to her still and in the sunlight she appears incandescent. She is golden and delicious, sweet as a lemon drop. But her father never asks to see her.”
