Why I Wrote My Mother's Story


As Authors each of us has our own reason as to why we write a particular genre. My writing didn’t start out as a memoir I was trying to find my sister that had been abducted when she was an infant. I wanted to bring some  closure and move forward with my own life. I needed to know what happen to her whether she was, she still living or not. I just started writing letters to everyone and anyone I thought could assist us in finding her. But then the more I wrote the better I began to feel it became very therapeutic for me. Then there was this thought in my spirit to write a book and share my mother’s story to inspire parents that have lost a child through death, abduction, or  a child that has run away. Even though it’s a daily struggle it seems like the heartache and pain will never go away. Just remember you will always have the memories of that child that no one can take away. I watched my mother struggle for many years as I was growing up after our sister was abducted. We saw the sadness in her eyes and tears she tried to hold back every day.  http://www.allihadwasyourbirthcertificate.wordpress.com
