A Mother's Survival: Finding Balance Through the Storms is my memoir of the hardships I endured through a traumatic childhood, marriage to a man with mental illness, and the impact of bitter divorce on my children and stepchildren. During the course of my journey I struggled to balance the joys and adversities of both my personal life and my career as a New York City teacher. With time, I became empowered to conquer the endless challenges to happiness. Traveling the path that I did opened my spirit to wisdom and enlightenment, as I came to find forgiveness as the key to survival in this world.
