edit data

Tina Fitzgerald knows building good relationships takes work. Especially now, in the #MeToo era, it is crucial that people hear more about both healthy and abusive situations in order to learn how to foster strong, positive connections.

To that end, Fitzgerald faced her memories of her rural Louisiana childhood and wrote a powerful memoir of abuse and redemption that will offer hope and inspiration to others trapped in similar situations.

Fitzgerald lives with her family in Houston, Texas. She spent nine years in elementary education and is now a proud stay-at-home mom to two amazing children. She enjoys writing, roller-skating, painting, gardening, and touring breweries with her husband.

I'm a list person, so I brainstorm and write down ideas, related topics, and word associations on sticky notes or whatever I have at hand. If that doesn't work, I get up and do something completely unrelated to writing until inspiration hits. My first go-to is listening to music. Next, I try mindless activities like vacuuming, washing dishes, or folding laundry. If I'm really stuck, I go out in my garden and pull weeds. Almost seems like my brain needs a reset from too much thinking.(less)

Writing has really pushed me out of that shell and helped me connect with others by building a sense of community with the bigger world.(less)
