Bitter Memories, the first in the Memories Series is a memoir/true crime, told from the heart. This is a true story of the author's early life after being kidnapped by her father.
She was only three years old.
Now living a life on the run, hungry, terrified and abused, Sarah doesn't know if she'll ever see her mother or her home again.
As the abuse escalates, Sarah, unable to cope with her day to day life, splits into multiple personalities in order to survive.
Although the names in this unforgettable story have been changed to protect the innocent, and the guilty, the events are factual.
Bitter Memories is a heartfelt journey into the world of extreme child abuse, but also the will to survive.
This book is dedicated to all abuse survivors, and is written in hopes that exposing these horrors will help prevent them from happening to others.
Explicit and unnerving, Bitter Memories is not a cozy, feel-good book. It does contain adult language and overt sexual content.

One In A Million is a short story about an amazing man who changed the direction my life was heading. After I'd attempted suicide, I met David, another patient on the psych ward suffering from deep depression. He'd been admitted on a suicide prevention watch. However, holding a heartbreaking secret, David had a good reason to be depressed.
Becoming instant friends, David shared his secret with me. Leaving the hospital, he began to show me life through his eyes. With his demons controlled, this young man loved life and saw beauty in everything around him. David only wanted to be there for his friends and to help others.
But, no one could help David. No one could change what was to come for my dear friend.
One In A Million is a true story of friendship and love between two friends helping each other deal with spirals of emotions, good and bad.
Drowning In Memories, Book 2, is the story my fans have waited for.
With a bonus story at the end, this book is written in two parts.
Part One: continues the true story after going to live with my uncle, the cop, and his heavy-handed wife, then moving on to after l left home.
Part Two: I talk about many times in my life. I tell about my mother's sister, who I ended up living with and running away from, and of a time I literally ran from an abusive husband with nothing but my Siamese cat and what clothes I could fit into a paper sack, finding I was happier than I'd ever been in my life. I also talk about my big brother who I'd never met in book one.
Included is a bonus story -- a very special story about a wonderful man who brought me back from a never-ending abyss after my suicide attempt, giving me hope to go on. This man changed the direction of my life.
