Sometimes its just tough to remember you are a survivor

On beautiful days like this I ask myself what shackles me to my bed, my home, my fridge, and then I reluctantly admit that recovery is an ongoing thing. Its hard to accept that because i expect so much more of myself that I am able to give. Lord, help me to do one thing that is productive.

Chapter One, from my new novel, Dirty Little Angels (now available on Amazon.com)

The baby was a white fist of flesh. Mama had placed the ultrasound photo atop her dresser in a sterling silver frame.

He said the baby didn’t feel any pain, that at nine weeks it wasn’t anything but a ball of meat squirming in Mama’s stomach. He said it hadn’t even… Continue
