INTRODUCTION: I'm going to help you overcome, grow from and prosper from being raised in poverty and addiction.

The title of my book, Frozen Hands, (even though when you read it, you will find I actually did freeze my hands) is a metaphor of having your hands frozen/tied.  Unable to help your situation, unable to get out of your environment.  

I want to help others, whether you are in a poverty stricten family or a family that has one or both parents struggling with addiction.  I want to help you know, you are not alone and you can overcome and break free of that life.

You will find in my book the rock bottom struggles of a child.  A child suffering from poverty, mental abuse, animal cruilty, a alcholic father, and a witness to physical abuse of her mother.

Surrounded by "normal" middle class children in rouel America, I always wondered if everyone grew up like this, later to find out, no.

Whether you are a social worker, a health care provider, teacher or a victim, my book can help you see that children in these environments can grow to be healthy, productive, educated adults.  I want to help others know and realize how to help these children without always thinking removal is the best answer.

Come share my story, if I can help just one child, or adult get through this type of life, my efforts for this book was worth every second.

Lets relive my life together and thaw those frozen hands.  xo
