I am the third born in a family of thirteen children. My life has always been centered around family and prayer. When I lost my son, Brendan, it was devastating to all of us. It was in this time of great trial that I was moved to write. My works are the result of my deep family ties and the first hand knowledge that God can and will carry me through anything I must face. I pray, through God's grace, that you will be both encouraged and strengthened as I share my own journey.
