I'm a 38 year old Christian author. I wrote the book Tears to Joy Finding God's Love Through the Heartache. My maiden name was Patterson when my first book was published in 2014. I'm on a journey with my Lord and Savior Jesus and currently working on my second book. I was given two weeks to live when I was 20, but God has given me 19 years now. I'm answering His calling for my life as a writer and someday as a speaker.
