What is the main topic of your book?

It’s encouragement to rise above your circumstances.

Why did you choose this topic?

I choose this topic because I think it is important for people to know and recognize, that where you’re in your life right now is just temporary and the moment you decide to make a change or to make a better life for yourself, that is the moment when the actual change will begin. It’s a mindset.

How is your book a solution to the needs of others?

I think that my book is a book that will help others see that you can change your life for the better regardless of how your life began.

What inspired you to write your book?

What inspired me to write my book was the fact that I began meeting several people who have experienced some of the same life experiences I had experienced. Meeting those people made me realize that I need to share my story. I have so many chapters to my life that make it easy for me to related to others on so many different levels.

Yes, my book is a memoir about my life. Age 5 to Age 35.

At the age of 5, I lost my mother and sister by a drunk driver.

What can you tell others that have experienced tragedies in their life?

No one is exempt from life’s sudden reversals of fortune. If one overarching theme exists in this fascinating story, it is that God’s omniscience is greater than any tragedy we will ever face. After reading, “A Thousand Miles in My Shoes,” you will be able to overcome, grow, forgive, and experience unimaginable breakthroughs.

Excerpt about, “A Thousand Miles in My Shows”

It was a few days before Halloween and the October nights seem colder than usual this year. The night sky seemed darker than usual; there was not a star in sight. It was almost 11pm and Linda had secured her girls in her 1984 Cavalier. Autumn was wide awake in the front passenger seat. Secured in her car seat, Brittany was fast asleep. Stephanie was not fully awake, she was half asleep.

Linda was eager to pick up her husband from his graveyard shift at work and get her daughters back home and put them to bed. Linda didn’t particularly care to have her kids out this late, but the arrangement that she had with her husband was working for now! As Linda drove along the highway, who knows what this young mother of 28 was thinking. Perhaps she was thinking of how well she was doing in life. She had 3 adorable girls, a husband, a career, good health, and a great family. What more could a woman want!

And then the unexpected happens! Out of nowhere! Bright Lights Flashed in Linda’s eyes. Please stop! It was too late! There was an ungodly sound of metal upon metal. Flashing lights, sirens everywhere!
