Erika is a 36-year-old single mother. Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, she currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia. She has a 10-year-old daughter and is expecting her second child in August. Erika has been writing for 10 years, mostly poetry. She has also written articles for a local Christian newspaper in Atlanta, but this is her first completed novella. She is also a professional singer and has been doing that for 20 years. I believe that reading is essential for the mind and whatever lessons you instill in your children, let a love for reading be one of those things because the more you read the more you learn. Knowledge is the most feared thing the more you know the less you will fall for!
