The word freefalling is an enigma, since each writer soars!"

The plot and characters work well together and have enough action and interaction to provide a good read." (From School Library Journal)

That day an emmense burden fell upon my father's shoulders when he became both mother and father." This is the story of triumph over tragedy in Donna Jean's life.

"The historical fiction FINDING MY LIGHT is very close to my heart, as it is based on my ancestors. My great-great-great grandmother was one of the first woman lighthouse keepers on the Great Lakes. She and her family lived at the Marquette Michigan Lighthouse during the Civil War. I so enjoyed researching and writing this novel."
