I was not raised in a Christian family, but my life took a profound and unexpected turn more than 30 years ago when my twin sister gave her life to Jesus Christ . Through her testimony, I accepted Christ on the Feast of Trumpets. I didn't understand the full significance of that Jewish holiday at the time, but my faith became deeply grounded in Judeo-Christian beliefs as I studied the Holy Scriptures. It was through this study that I came to understand the pivotal role of Israel and the part that Jesus plays in my faith, making the day of my conversion all the more meaningful.

My journey of faith was later tested by the loss of my beloved twin sister. In a year that brought both immense joy and sorrow, I began writing my first book on January 1, 2020, just six months before my sister, who was ready to meet the Lord, passed away. This profound loss, along with a personal illness, gave me time to reflect deeply on my faith and the faithfulness of God through all seasons of life.

My commitment to sharing my faith became a testament to my sister’s legacy, which now lives on in my granddaughter, named after her. Through my writing, I aim to reach others with the message that God is faithful through the good and the bad, no matter what journey you are on.
