THE BOOKS
My books reflect my life as both a trailing spouse and a special education teacher. In both roles it is essential to see the joy in your mistakes and see that failure is a wonderful gift that helps you grow as a person. So whether you are an adult seeing how I failed to fit in in other cultures, but found my own way through with the help of like minded individuals or if you are a child struggling to see how your wonderful dyslexic brain can contribute out of the box thinking to solve the world's problems, I have a book for you.
