About the Author

I was born in Haiti, Missouri. When I was two years old my parents moved us to Patterson , Missouri; to live on a farm. And finally in 1977 they bought a home in Piedmont, Missouri; where I grew up. I am now 38 years old. Twenty four years ago I was raped by a family friend who took my virginity after ten tears of being molested by my eldest brother due to his drug and alcohol addiction. It started when we moved to Piedmont and I was only four years old, and ended after the rape. This caused me many problems growing up and in my twenties. I was hospitalized a couple times for mental breakdowns and attempted suicide. I didn't want to kill myself until after I learned that the rapist gave my Clamydia and I had a severe case of Endometriosis that forced me to have a Hysterectomy when I was thirty three. It was in 2003 that I chose to die instead of drinking all my sadness and depression away. In rehab I met my now husband Jason who took all that pain away and turned my life and his own around. We have been clean and sober since April 2004. We married May 6th 2006. He gave me four beautiful stepsons that I have been privileged to raise as my own. We have the best relationship that I could ever pray for. They call me Mommy or Mommy Stacy. The youngest are twins named Trent and Zachary which are now eleven and Devin who is now twelve and the eldest is Skyler who is now fifteen. The twins were four and Devin was five and Skyler was eight when I walked into their lives and we became a real family. I battle bi-polar, OCD, and panic disorder, PTSD from the sexual abuse, along with Choric banding Shingles. I can't keep a job to save my life. But I can clean and cook and do laundry and i always wanted to be a Cosmetologist. So, I cut everyone's hair in my family. I am talented but unable to go to school because of my fear of driving. And of course four boys are very expensive with a house payment and truck payment and utilities. I can't forget about sports. I have been a soccer coach that won every game last spring. this fall I decided to just help out when needed. Staying in my home full time is what started me writing poetry. My twin sister is the one who said for me to write a book. So i did. I don't have much to do with my parents or two older brothers or older sister. Just my twin because she doesn't look at me like I am damaged . She and my husband encourage me to do whatever my heart desires. To fulfill my dream of being a successful writer. I have realized that god put us all here for a reason. And when I thought that there was nothing left for me to live for, he opened the door to a life worth living for.
