Author Description

How many times have you wanted to write the truth about your life, no matter how shocking it may seem? Grasshoppers for My Father, a memoir, does just that. It tells the truth of childhood sexual abuse and how it impacts our life well into adulthood. But the journey doesn't stop there. Each chapter reads of unthinkable events that one would expect might cause irreversible emotional damage but instead, brings the author closer to her memories and forgiveness for both herself, and those who hurt her. This book spans from America's northern states, along the west coast, and the desolation of the desert. It rests peacefully within the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, a land of "mystery and misrepresentation".
