Reader Review
It Isn't About the Brokenness...
It's About the Starting Over
If you have faced serious obstacles in life and are overdue for some encouragement, this book is for you. You’ll learn about the power of faith and sheer grit in overcoming unimaginable loss.
In Search of Gopher Hollow is the wild ride that is my life story, a story of hope, resilience, and survival. Come join me in the copilot seat where we’ll ride through all the triumphant highs and personal heartbreaks together! Trust me ... never a dull moment.
You know that old saying, "God never gives us more than we can handle." Well, God kinda pushed the envelope with me. However, He also gave me an inspiring grandfather who taught me many important life lessons that would fortify me for facing future challenges.
Indeed, it was at my grandparents’ home called Gopher Hollow that I found refuge at the age of eight, after experiencing great turmoil in my early childhood years. At that impressionable age, I soaked up all the sensory delights I discovered there at Gopher Hollow - the scents of gardenia and eucalyptus, the cooing of the mourning dove - while also forging a close bond with my grandpa. The result was a blueprint for joy that became deeply engrained in my psyche, propelling me forward over the years (hence the book’s title).
So, why dredge up the past? Because by sharing about the challenges I’ve managed to overcome, I provide that little spark of inspiration and a glimmer of hope that might just help someone who is facing an immense struggle of their own.
In essence, In Search of Gopher Hollow is a real-life example of faith, hope, and joy all wrapped up in a whole lotta drama. I do hope you’ll pick up a copy and ride along! I promise, it will leave you smiling.

to My Blog
Journey with me as I share my personal life experiences with the hope of inspiring others who may be facing their own difficult chapter. I am very pleased to announce my newest memoir In Search of Gopher Hollow. In it, I walk the reader through my whole life story, which is quite the roller coaster ride. But with the help of a loving God and a powerful mentor in my late grandfather, I was able to hang on and forge ahead through some very tumultuous times.
My last book, Hope Springs from a Mother's Broken Heart: 11 Mothers Share How They Survived the Loss of a Child, delves deeply into the unique grief journey that a mother must endure. I have learned a lot, so I decided to help newly grieving mothers by creating a guidebook. Ten other grieving mothers joined me in sharing their own courageous stories, offering the reader an important resource for tips and wisdom. Mostly, the reader will be inspired by the strength of these ladies, and the amazing ways they have chosen to honor their child's memory.
My first memoir, My 13th Station: A Mother Shares Her Son's Tragic Battle with Depression, Alcoholism, and Demons, is a transparent accounting of my son's harrowing journey during the last six years of his short life. In this book, I provide firsthand information that can truly help other parents of struggling teens or young adults.
Through writing and blogging about a variety of real life issues, I hope to offer my readers constructive advice taken from my own personal experiences - and to inspire them to never give up.
