I am a single mom with 4 kids at home. Tried marriage twice. Was a surrogate for my sister. I have a disabled child. I have been in an abusive relationship and have been sexually assulted which comes out in much of my writing. I have a very close family (7 siblings all 1 year apart)! I grew up in a rural community in the midwest. I have been an EMT, beautitian, grocery clerk, nursing student, corn detassler, child care provider and now I'm just working at being a Mom.
