As One Door Closes

About the Book

Follow my journey from joy to despair and back to joy. It was 1986. I’d been a single mother for five years, super-bonding with my daughters Emily and Elizabeth, ages twelve and six. I was a school librarian, taking courses toward administrative certification. I had good friends and a social life of sorts. I swore I’d never marry again. Enter Dan, recently separated with two young sons. Romance and passion exploded and we became a Brady Bunch family. Then the Northwest Flight 255 crashed outside Detroit, and my world fell apart. Building another life was my biggest challenge.
