The books are based on many of the author’s own experiences; growing up in a large family of seven children.  The family moved frequently and both parents worked full-time.  The family included a great grand Uncle Jim, who taught her the meaning of unconditional love, something many young children are lacking and need to find at home and school.

“Stars from Scars” Children’s Book Series focuses on the fact that virtually every child struggles with something.  Every day, children in school struggle with reading, writing, math, being accepted, diversity, being bullied, not being athletic and so much more. 

The vision is that the books help children realize that they can overcome their difficulties and even turn those struggles into strengths if they don’t give up or give in.  The book wants to inspire children to Reach for the Stars!
