The Sex Trafficker's Wife
A Story of Truth, Faith, and Trust in Self
In 2016, my husband, the father of my three young children, was arrested for attempted human trafficking. I stayed, telling myself it was to protect my children. It took me seeing my children being groomed by their father to finally get it. Putting me first ended up being the most unselfish thing I have ever done.
This book is for everyone still fighting to create safety in their lives and the lives of their children. You are not alone.

“It empowers us to not feel dumb at how we allowed ourselves to be blinded and stand up for ourselves.”
“It's inspiring for anyone who is in a bad situation that they need to get out of.”
“The honesty and vulnerability that is poured out on the pages is truly felt.”

Invite me to speakHer Seven Demons
For fourteen centuries, Mary Magdalene was remembered as a prostitute. Scripture never says she was one. It says Christ cast seven demons out of her, and that she was the first to see Him risen. The label stuck anyway.
I know something about being named for what someone else did.
This book reads her seven demons alongside Scripture and my own story, and asks what it means to be set free from the names other people gave us.

Writing your own story?
I work one-on-one with writers who are ready to tell the whole truth. Not editing or publishing help: the work of finding the story under the story, so the book can be written.
