I should Have Worn Heels

About the Book

Imagine the Panic and trauma when accepting you must choose to die in order to truly live.
I Should Have Worn Heels is a story of death and new life- from Charles to Christine. It is my story of placing trust and faith in God as I sought comfort while confronting my death--a spiritual death God was calling me to accept and a loving wife, family, and home I was being asked to relinquish.

My journey was one of hopes and promises that seemed uncompleted and unfulfilled, an unknown journey I initially struggled to comprehend, though a journey I always felt safe abd secure experiencing. I felt a constant spiritual presence that was there, To Watch Over Me.
