A Break in the Silence is a memoir in which you confront the heartbreak of family estrangement and the quiet, often painful pursuit of healing, faith, and reconciliation. Why was this an important book for you to write?

The writing of this book weighed heavy upon my heart for years as I’ve seen the decline in traditional family values. I’ve seen and heard the stories of those who have been torn apart by others and the court system as they were separated from the ones they love and cherish. It is my hope that my memoir will restore hope when it comes to reconciliation. I desire to see families that were once broken find their way back to one another, fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters.

What was the hardest moment to write about in A Break in the Silence, and what helped you get through it?

The hardest moment while writing this was thinking back to the memories I hold near and dear to my heart while thinking about the lost time I had with my children. Time waits for no man, once it’s gone, we are never able to get it back. The memories we could have created with our loved ones during a time of separation were never made, leaving us with a sense of hopelessness and great loss. What helped me to press on was my strong desire to find a solution that would restore my relationships with my children whom I’ve always loved and cherished. My passion and desire to make amends is what kept me writing.

How did your spiritual beliefs shape your journey through estrangement and healing?

My faith in the Lord has always been my rock, I know God wants and desires the best for all of his children, He desires us to walk in Love and Unity, one with another. It’s always been his plan from the very beginning, His faithfulness to answer our prayers is unfailing!

I’ve personally seen and witnessed his promises being fulfilled within my life as well as the lives of many others.

How do you hope this book will impact parents who are currently alienated from their children?

It is my prayer that this book will hold the power to impact and inspire not only parents but all those who have become estranged and alienated from the ones they love, to find a way back to each other. The world is full of broken people and I truly believe that my story will speak to the hearts of all of its readers, bringing forth a newfound hope in becoming a part of our children’s lives again, no matter how much time we have lost out on.

It’s never too late to start over again! Believe me when I say this our children are counting on us!
