About the Author

I recently asked Judy what inspired her to write a book about her life. Amazing as it may sound, her answer was compelling & selfless. She is a remarkable survivor of domestic violence & a mafia marriage. Her true life story is an emotional journey thru extraordinary trials & eventually a fight for her very life. As you begin to experience her story in the book, you quickly discover that Judy had no way out in her life. She thinks this is a problem tormenting millions of people across America. Perhaps you never had a fatherly role model or a strong family to turn to in time of need. At her breaking point, Judy turned to her heavenly Father for saving grace. It was the best decision of her life. “My Father” is a perfect example of a troubled woman finding the hope, determination, & perseverance to overcome an unfathomable life. Judy’s prayer is that you will be moved by her story & accept the wonderful gifts that God has for your life.
