I grew up in a small town in Arkansas, where stories were often passed down around kitchen tables and front porch swings. My love for writing was nurtured by my mother, whose own passion for words left a lasting imprint on my heart. Her storytelling didn't just teach me how to write-it taught me how to feel, deeply and unapologetically. After the loss of my daughter, Delilah, writing became more than a creative outlet-it became a lifeline. Through grief, I found language. Through pain, I found purpose. My first book, Shoes to Fill, is born from those spaces between memory and healing. It is a tribute to love, loss, and the enduring power of words to carry us home.
