Writing this book was a lot harder than I ever thought it would be. It is based on real-life events of struggles and triumphs that had to be re-lived over and over until the chapters were finished. I’m eternally grateful for all those that have helped me and loved me through it all.

Please note: that although the series is based on real-life and true stories there are stories that have been fictionally dramatized for audience entertainment purposes only. The story is faithful to her experiences in the way that all creative nonfiction tries to recreate stories from memories as accurately as possible. The author has changed the characters’ names to protect identities and privacy. Events, locations and other are assumed to be fiction. Nothing written should be assumed as an autobiography to the author’s life.
