This is a story that would have remained untold had it not been for a persistent inner prompting. Writing became a way for me to process and express things I couldn't say.
Prior to a tragedy that changed everything, I felt completely invisible and trapped in a marriage that I had given up on. Then, my husband became completely incapacitated after a massive stroke following a transplant. In mid-life I was left to take care of him and our teenage daughter. I didn't realize it at the time, but that four year journey through a valley of shadows was part of a larger plan meant to restore and redeem.
This is my story and my voice but I believe that it could help anyone who has been oppressed, abused, rejected or traumatized.
The author lives in Ontario Canada with her 22 year old daughter and their labradoodle, Ruby.
