Learning to Cope

Book excerpt: Learning to Cope has been a work in progress over the years. Dreaming of being an author and seeing my name in print on a book cover has been a dream of mine since I was a little girl. I had to overcome the death of my mom, verbal and emotional abuse, and abandonment, as well as sexual abuse all at a very young age. But there's more to the story than you may think. In a moving effort to finally put my painful memories and past behind, I wanted to share my troubled yet painful story and, for the first time ever, reveal the dark secrets I have closely concealed.
