About the author

To know me is to love me. My identity begins with my name but makes a statement with my pen. I'm a mother of two and a wife of one. My love for writing began at the age of two. That's right I first wrote my name at the age of two and I've been writing ever since. Growing up I always felt invisible. I suffered from that 'Middle Child Syndrome', so when my voice wasn't heard, I made my own story.
My journal and my pen became my companion. I would write stories where my characters looked like me (thick, tall, and pretty), they loved to read, was educated, and realistic. The older I got the more my imagination grew, which caused my stories to be more diverse.
Becoming an author came about in an unintentional way. I've been through many things in my adult life. My husband, who's my backbone, has always admired my strength. We suffered a devastating loss, our daughter. My husband urged me to tell my story, to be a light for someone else. I took him up on his advice and wrote my pains and truths.
I love weaving stories, touching readers with relatable characters and situations. I give life lessons, unconditional love, dedication, a little crazy, and a whole lot of truth. I have a saying that I live by; 'I don't just write books;I tell stories'.

Not for me

I almost was unable to finish this book. The characters were okay, but the story didn't come together for me.

Cree aka Peaches was a liar. She crafted a new life for herself and it seemed like she was willing to do whatever to keep this new life. She supposedly left the old life behind, but easily stepped back into it even when it felt off.

Shiloh had to be the most naive man ever. His gut told him something was wrong, but he let Cree sweet talk him every time. He was defending Cree from September, when she had just as much to hide.

Sweet Andres was the light of this story. He was smart, funny, and independent and seemingly loved by everyone.

The story was all over the place with the law firm, random people from Crees past, battling custody... It was just too much and lacked cohesiveness. There were too many villains and it ended in a cliff hanger which left so much up in the air.

Additionally it was poorly edited. There were several spelling mistakes.

Crazy

A crazy twisted story with so many secrets. I still have so many questions and that cliff hanger left me so confused.
