From The Author

"Three decades as a healer taught me: our deepest pain isn't physical—it's the gap between who we are and who we pretend to be. I write about "Angel's Leap" moments when characters must choose between defeat or authentic transformation. If you're trapped by expectations, paralyzed by imposter syndrome, or ready to stop pretending, these stories will mirror your journey. Readers tell me my books changed them."
