As a blogger and memoirist, I write real stories about mental illness, child abuse, language barriers, and identity. My debut memoir "I Asked the Blue Heron" is now available in stores and online in Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Kobo.

The Sound of Home

The life we built together will eventually dissipate like the purple bloom of the Jacaranda tree in late June, with a mess at the feet that reminds us of what once was and no longer is. But I will always carry with me the sound of his heartbeat against my ear when I rested on his chest, exhausted from lovemaking. The sound of home.
