Life was very difficult growing up, I can relate to the character Alyson on many of her challenges throughout this story. I married while in high school and was a teen mom. I have been blessed with two wonderful sons. In 2003 I married my best friend Loren. I have two step sons and one step daughter. In 2006 after layoffs and a declining economy we moved to Kansas. All the children are grown and have left the nest so I have had a little extra time to fulfill my dream of writing this story.показать меньше
