 An uplifting article on how the darkness from my childhood created an incredible amount of light in my adult years, helping me to heal and then to go on and write, Cosette’s Tribe, the inspiring story of a young girl struggling to find a place of safety and a people of her own.

“Sometimes I feel like there’s too much room inside of me, and that things are knocking around in there. I got a lot of secrets knocking around inside of me for a kid. Things I can’t tell anyone. Ma would die if she knew some of the stuff I’ve been up to. I wish I could feel happy again like when I was little. I didn’t have any worries back then because my soul was still white like the truth.”

Cosette’s Tribe

I’ve always wished for things I didn’t have; a good voice, long legs, strong nails, and..oh yes, money. Every day I discovered something else I didn’t have so the list was endless. This left me feeling dissatisfied with my life and never quite up to par. Well, now I say “screw it” to all the things I don’t have and I intend to push through the vagueness of me and find what I do have. I’m going to eat life raw! It won’t be pretty but it’s about time.
