Title: Morningstar
Subtitle: A Warrior's Spirit
First published: August 4, 2006
Description: I wrote the book to pay homage to the ongoing crisis of missing and murdered women internationally, as well as addressing the generational impact of Residential Schools. I take the reader into the psyche of a child who is abused, neglected and impoverished, which eventually led to her living a high-risk lifestyle. Hope and courage are essential when overcoming horrific trauma, through identifying post-trauma later in life, I chose hope, recovery and a healthy lifestyle. By no means is my story unique. This is part of our story historically. Not to be denied or minimized. I honor the warrior within myself and those who will relate...and I cannot impress enough, life is beautiful and a blessing.
