I’ve been considering writing my memoir for a couple of years. Finally, over the weekend I started what I hope is a story of inspiration.

One of my readers said that when you lose someone close to you, you become someone different. That statement really spoke to me because this is the story of how I lifted out of that old life, guilt, and sorrow to find my new life.

I’ve released the first three chapters on Kindle Vella and I’ll be releasing a chapter a week.

The story starts when I lose my mom and then follows my best friends and me as we travel through Costa Rica, Panama, and Peru. Can two women with very little travel experience backpack through South and Central America?

I asked my readers what they thought of the story and they said it was ‘a story of inspiration’. I hope so.
