In this episode, I take you along on my author reading journey with Finding Bonnie. It all began in June 2025 in Bangor, Michigan—my hometown. By September, I was sharing my story in Boron, California. This fall, I’ll be reading in Rosamond, the town I’ve proudly called home for 21 years, and then in Tehachapi, part of the Antelope Valley, known for its unforgettable sunrises and sunsets.

From Michigan to California, these readings are more than events—they are moments of connection, healing, and honoring the voices of those who came before me.

Follow my journey, and discover where Finding Bonnie will take me next.

From the crashing waves of Lake Michigan to the silence of dark church pews and the whisper of a dragonfly over a gravestone, Finding Bonnie takes you on a journey through trauma, survival, and the search for resilience.

✨ This memoir isn’t just about survival—it’s about discovering your voice when fear tried to silence it.
