Evolving to Grace
Evolving to Grace is a memoir about perseverance, strength, spiritual evolution, and the choices one must make to change one's path. I share my life's experiences, my journey--finding my way out of darkness--discovering hope, positivity, strength, happiness and the right path for the life I choose to live. I write about many challenges I've had to face and overcome--either due to alcoholism, depression, violence, rape and being a single mother on welfare.

Life can be a roller-coaster ride for some more than others. Mine has been this way. Born into generations of educated, privileged, and successful millionaires, I tell a story of how one generation's downfall due to financial, emotional, and addiction problems had crippling, traumatic effects on everyone around them, including myself. This story is about my journey of how I was going to fight with every fiber of my being, so that I would not follow in the footsteps of others. From very dark times as a teenager where I believed suicide was the only option to later entertaining times in my early 20's living in the City of Angels, hobnobbing with professional athletes and entertainers.

I could be labeled many things: illegal, ACoA (Adult Child of an Alcoholic), domestic violence survivor, excessive alcohol and drug user, rape victim, assault victim, hitchhiker, high school dropout, call girl, and single mother on welfare. But, these are just situations I ended up in when I was lost and broken. I've learned from my past and I am evolving to find my grace in this beautiful thing we call life. I write to share my experiences with others with the hope that no one, despite whatever situation they may be going through, will never give up. You can change your destiny, your path.

As a teenager, she moved to Southern California, where she currently resides. Her memoir, "Evolving to Grace," is about her life's experiences-finding her way out of darkness, from living with alcoholism and abuse in the home, suffering many years with depression even suicidal at times, to being raped at 16 years old-later discovering hope, positivity, strength, happiness and the right path for the life she chooses to live, for herself and her son.
