When God referred to me as a prostitute, The Story of the Secret Prostitute began. The goal of this book is to share certain aspects of my life with other ladies who are experiencing comparable circumstances and believe there must be something better out there but are unsure of how to discover it. I discovered it in the Bible. I was unaware that God had been watching over me my entire life even when deeply in sin. 

When it comes to obeying God, this is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I did not make the decision lightly, but submission is better than sacrifice. Authoring this book and the reluctance to open my life to scrutiny requires revealing my identity and my origins, as well as some of the things I have done and what has been done to me.
