About the Author

I am an African American female. I live in Charlotte N.C. I am originally from Canton Ohio. I moved to Charlotte about twenty years ago. My husband was stationed at Camp Lejuene N.C. He was a Veit Nam Vet. Jobs were hard to find when he decided to get out, so he came to Charlotte and found work here. He later was diagnosed with Abnocarsinoma which is a rare form of cancer. He died May 9th 1995 after a long two year battle. I had a lot of time to think during that time, so many things had happened to me in my life. I was so stressed from it that my body started to cry out in pain. I was later diagnosed with Fibromyalsia. Every test that I took none showed why I was in pain. I read my bible and I started to fast and pray, I was tired of paining. on the third night of my fast I was falling asleep when something came in my spirit. It said "They say you are stressed out, you are not stresed out, you are stressed in." I sat up in my bed and thought where did that come from. It continued, the only way you will stop paining is to get every thing that has happened to you out. I thought how? It said" write." Get the pain out by writing a book." That's when I started writng. My first book was Only the Strong Survive, it is my non fiction book about all the things I have been through in my life. The second is True Grit a nonfiction book about my son born with Cerebral Palsy that is not suppose to be living today. Now I have written Young and Undecided. I want to be able to help others get out of situations that they think are impossible. I left home at sixteen I ended up being a battered wife but I could have ended up like Ariana in this book. I learned that every thing that I have been through is so that I can help others.Every book relates to something in my life.I have to get it out and I get it out by writing. I have learned that God will never leave me. He didn't promise I woudln't go through storms in my life. He promised me he would take me through them.
