At 44, I’m a small business owner originally from Sacramento, California, now living in Olivehurst. I have four children, three of whom are adults. During a significant chapter of my life—a personal restart—I felt as though I disappeared, fading into the background of my own story. That experience inspired me to write, creating a character who embodies those same feelings of being unseen and searching for identity. This story reflects not just my journey but also the resilience it takes to rediscover yourself.
