With warmth, intuition, and unflinching honesty, she explores the patterns of trauma, the power of resilience, and the quiet beauty of unexpected silver linings.

Memoir 2, working title:

The Long Goodbye: A Love Story in Reverse

There was a time when I believed love, in the way people spoke of it—deep, safe, enduring—was something meant for other people. I had taught myself to live around the edges of it. To offer pieces, but never the whole.

Then, Glen came along.

Not with fanfare or dramatic declarations, but with quiet strength, soft laughter, and a steadiness I didn’t know I was craving until it was there.

He didn’t try to fix me. He didn’t need explanations. He simply made room for all the parts of me, the guarded, the wounded, the curious. And I, in turn, made room for him.

This chapter of my life didn’t begin in a rush. It arrived like morning light—subtle, persistent, undeniable.

Before the forgetting, before the long goodbye, there was just…us.

This memoir deals with loving someone with a terminal illness, Alzheimer's disease.
