Motherhood had me imagining that someday, when they were old enough, my children would look to me as a source of information and wisdom. That they’d come to me looking for advice about life. I imagined us having long conversations where I’d share what I’ve learned along the way. But that moment never really happened. Instead, the Internet became their source of information and I wondered how my lived experience could possibly compete with that.

So, I chose a different path.

I began turning my life lessons into stories. Narratives layered with meaning, written with the hope that one day they might read them.

My books are my gift to them. A love letter of sorts, filled with the wisdom and hope I wish for their lives.

I write stories where women’

Very intense. The author treats the serious subject matter with the depth and gravity it deserves, but it’s heavy reading for sure. Although there were a few light moments that made me smile, if you’re looking for an easy, light, feel-good romance, t ...more

“Like a plot twist, we are born into stories well underway until we grow old enough, and wise enough, to be the hero of our own story.”
Jessica Williams, Christmas Exodus

“The plants have enough spirit to transform our limited vision.”
Rosemary Gladstar

“Humor is the razor-sharp edge of the truth. It’s pain and anger made funny…because if you’re just angry all the time, all you’re going to do is burn yourself out and chase everybody away. That’s not how you change hearts and minds…passion is better than Prozac.”
Robin Tyler

“It's the little things that are vital. Little things make big things happen.”
John Wooden

“Like a plot twist, we are born into stories well underway until we grow old enough, and wise enough, to be the hero of our own story.”
Jessica Williams, Christmas Exodus

“Everyone uses that awful cliché that love hurts, but that’s not true. Real love doesn’t hurt. Real love is wonderful. Its loneliness that hurts. And rejection. And losing someone close to you hurts. Everyone confuses these things with love, but in reality, love is the only thing in this world that covers up all the pain and makes us feel wonderful again.”
Christina Ross
