Bestselling Adoption & Children's Book Author

Welcome!

Hello! I am so glad you have joined me in learning about adoption trauma, separation, grief and most of all...LOVE!

Twenty years ago, the myth of adoption had me hooked and I was unprepared for the journey ahead. My mission in writing children's books is to encourage open conversation about adoptee love and loss so that all blended families thrive! When reading together, allow your child to express honest emotions and feelings. All of the events in my books have been inspired by our own family experience, chronicled in my memoir – Love at the Border. Please explore the books and the resources here and experience your own adventure.
