This entire book was written as a result of losing my eighteen-year old son in a car accident. He was driving in a caravan of five cars going to a car show. He was driving too fast on a turnpike in Oklahoma in the rain when his car hydroplaned, spun around backward, and slid under the front of a wrecker on the side of the highway. The wrecker and a highway patrol officer were there as a result of another car that had hydroplaned in the same area prior to my son.

Grandma's Special Cookie Cutters is a tribute to all working parents, who don't get the opportunity to work on projects with their children. Was there really magic in those old cookie cutters the girls found in that old trunk? Who knows?

Like I mentioned, I love to bake. I imagined what would a little girl do waking up in a snow globe village in Mrs. Claus's kitchen and baking cookies with her. To me, that would be awesome! A warm and inviting kitchen with checkered tablecloth, hot cocoa, and marshmallows waiting for you. A little girl's dream come true.

There are pivotal moments in our lives when we must decide whom we will follow and what type of person we want to be. UnBroken is my journey of following Jesus to become the person God made me to be. UnBroken explores my inner life before I surrendered to Jesus and as I live out the Christian life during the transformation process of becoming a holy person. As you journey with me, you will discover that I am far from perfect, but it is in the seeking and surrendering that I was able to find peace with who I am and who I am still becoming. We all have a story, and UnBroken is mine.
