This Time, I Stayed: A Memoir of Enduring Love
To be released April 2026

A story about returning — to love, to truth, and to the woman I was always becoming. It’s a memoir of sacrifice, long-distance love, healing, and the courage to choose a life that feels like home.
A story rooted in endurance, tenderness, and rediscovery after thirty-six years apart.

Keeping You Whole: A Mother’s Letters
Currently in editing and to be released in the fall 2026

A collection of intimate, reflective letters written across the many seasons of my life — some to my own children, some to single mothers, and others to children everywhere who grew up carrying more than they should have. These letters are honest, vulnerable, and rooted in the lessons I learned while raising a family on my own. An exploration of mothering, resilience, forgiveness, and the quiet strength it takes to build a life from the inside out.

The Quiet Work of Becoming: Essays on Love, Forgiveness and Transformation
Planned release in 2027

A collection of essays about the emotional landscapes of my life — motherhood, heartbreak, aging, rebuilding, and the unexpected joy of second chances. Raw, reflective, and deeply human.

The Me No One Knows
Planned release in 2027

Poems rooted in the beauty of everyday life — childhood memories, womanhood, solitude, love, loss, and the soft miracles hidden in ordinary moments.
A companion to the essays, offering a quieter, distilled expression of the heart.
