her compelling journey of healing from serious childhood trauma to a life of deep
fulfillment, rewarding work and, most wonderfully, love. It is her story about how, with

change one’s own inner and outer life. It is a story with important lessons for anyone
confronting the challenges of trauma, past or present.
