This book that I have written is my heart and soul. It is fiction based on the events leading to my daughter's adoption. She was actually only two years old when her brave mother made the most painful yet selfless decision to give her up for a chance at a better life.

This is a woman that I met in 2008 when I adopted our daughter, and reunited with when I returned in 2012. She is my hero and my sister and we are forever connected. I wrote the story to honor her and bring attention to this global problem.

I am also passionate about the need for clean water around the world. Clean water = better health, a chance for girls to go to school and hope for an entire community.
