The Book
Abandoned to
Abundance
A memoir of abandonment, survival, and the long, brave road to healing. Written for every woman who has carried wounds she never chose — and is ready to lay them down.
About the Book
The Story Behind the Story
She was abandoned at birth by a mother consumed by addiction. Raised in a world that taught her she was not worth staying for, she spent decades searching for love in all the wrong places — three marriages, eight children, and a lifetime of survival mode.
But survival was never the destination. Healing was.
Abandoned to Abundance is the memoir she was never supposed to write — raw, unflinching, and full of grace. It is the story of a woman who finally stopped running from her pain and discovered that on the other side of every wound is a woman she was always meant to become.
This book is for every woman who has been left behind, let down, or told she was too broken to be loved. It is proof that healing is possible — and that abundance, in every form, is waiting.
From the Book
"I used to think that being abandoned meant I was unlovable. That the people who left took proof of my worth with them when they went.
It took me forty years to understand: they left because of their own wounds. Not mine."

The Journey Chapter by Chapter
Chapter One
Left at the Beginning
Born to a mother lost to addiction, I entered the world already abandoned. This chapter names the wound that shaped everything — and begins the work of understanding it.
Chapter Two
The Patterns We Inherit
How the trauma of abandonment writes itself into every relationship we choose. Three marriages. The same lesson, learned the hard way, again and again.
Chapter Three
Eight Children, One Mother
Raising eight children while carrying wounds I had never healed. The impossible love of a mother who was determined to give her children what she never had.
Chapter Four
The Breaking Point
The moment everything collapsed — and the moment I finally stopped running from myself. Sometimes the breaking is the beginning.
Chapter Five
Choosing to Heal
The decision that changed everything. Not a single dramatic moment, but a daily, deliberate choice to stop surviving and start living.
Chapter Six
From Abandoned to Abundant
What abundance actually looks like — not wealth or perfection, but wholeness. Peace. The freedom to love and be loved without fear.
