Along the way, she's rubbed elbows with everyone from Michael Jordan, John McEnroe, and Shaquille O'Neal to Ryan Seacrest, Khloe Kardashian, Hugh Hefner, and Jack Nicholson. And she's done it all in her own unique, inimitable style.

This is my healing process. When I wrote book number one, I had just lost my daughter, and my mind was unstable, I could not remember anything. Now, the healing has started, and the good Lord has helped me to look beyond the things that has come up on me. I have to go on with my life, and I do have hope to see my little girl again. I know she is in a better place. Also, I want my readers to realize that Alice's passing was not in vain. I hope her children will know that the only way to see her is to change their lives and live for the Lord, and if they change, what they were doing it for would be worth her going. Son young we do not know what they think about they lives the healing process to help someone that may have a drug problem. I am trying to make the most of my life through Jesus Christ, my Lord. We live in Wildwood, Florida, with our two dogs.
The story is about my hometown. This is where I grew up. I left there when I was twelve years old. Do not remember much. I do remember the storms .Nothing like 2011. The month was April, the twenty-seventh, on Wednesday morning. I felt like I was in the Wizard of Oz. I was watching the news about the storms coming our way. We were staying with our niece. She lived in a trailer when there was a bad storm coming your way. You get out, says the news people. That was what I began to do. I called my mother's friend in Pisgah. I rang her number. "Hi, Doris, how are you?" she said. She was fine. "Ask me how I am doing?" I told her I was okay, but there was a real bad storm coming. "Can we come to your house?" she said yes. Before we finished our conversation, I told her I would be there later. I was really scared. The storm was rated a 10; you do not mess around with that kind of number. That is high.
