I eloped with my husband, John, my freshman year in college, after I turned 18. He was 20 and a junior at a different university. It was quite a scandal. Thus began our grand adventure together. It has taken us from living in Indiana, to Los Angeles, New York City, Charleston, West Virginia, and ultimately to Chicago.

I write about women who face adversity with grace, humor and compassion and thus survive trauma stronger and wiser than ever. Women with multi-faceted personalities; women who embrace life with passion. I do.
