Peggy, adopted by her own kin, endured physical and psychological abuse, attempted murder, and incestuous assault before her ninth birthday.

These harrowing experiences thrust her into a life from which many cannot escape. Transitioning from an abused child to a teenage runaway and then a young bride and mother at fifteen, Peggy navigated a perilous journey through substance abuse and an unconventional lifestyle.

Along this path, she encountered a cast of extraordinary characters, forging friendships and gathering the fortitude to face her challenges. Despite the continued manipulation and torment by her supposed protectors, she confronts her past trauma when she discovers that her abuser has molested more members of her family.

‘Anna Meets the Sock Stealer’ is a thrilling, out-of-this-world adventure for anyone who's ever wondered where their missing socks disappear! Anna is always losing one sock from a pair, and one night, she’s startled awake by a noise near her sock drawer. To her astonishment, she finds a small, fuzzy, green creature with big eyes, two legs, six toes, two hands with six fingers each, tall ears, and two antennae—caught red-handed stealing her socks!

Determined to get to the bottom of this mystery, Anna bravely confronts the sock thief and follows him back to his planet, The Red Rock. There, she encounters an array of fascinating characters. Some teach her about friendship, while Anna, in turn, imparts lessons of kindness and the importance of asking instead of stealing.

Book Boxes Are Coming Soon!

A Book Box is not just any ordinary old box with a book inside—oh no, it's much more than that! It's a slice of who the author is, what she's working on, and what's coming next. Inside, you'll find a signed copy of your book of choice, a handmade cloth bookmark (made by yours truly), a postcard with a sneak peek of what's coming next, and a personal letter (I only write these letters once I get your order, so each one is unique and handwritten). It may also include a homemade candle I've crafted and a surprise trinket from one of my thrift shops (something I love and think you will too).

When you order a kids' Book Box, it's almost the same but without the candle. It's filled with items just for kids; they get cool stuff, too!

So, stay tuned for more information on the Book Boxes that are coming soon!
