Your latest book?
My book is titled Made for Me and it is a memoir chronicling finding true love, enduring loss, living in grief and realizing that God created us to love bigger than we could imagine.
Could you please let us know more about your memoir 'Made for Me'?
Made for Me is a deeply personal and emotionally rich memoir chronicling the love story of my late husband Joshua Michael French— it is a tale of healing, second chances, and divine orchestration. Told with vivid detail and emotional authenticity, the memoir traces our courtship through heartfelt conversations, inside jokes, family trials, shared values, and growing intimacy. It captures the beautiful chaos of blending lives, the joy of newfound love, and the weight of past wounds—both seen and unseen.
What's the reason behind choosing this name for your book?
This title explains how we have people brought into our lives exactly when we need them and made exactly for us to experience the joy and love intended for us.
What has been one of the most exciting achievements of your career so far?
Getting my first book written and published. It is truly an achievement I never considered and I am very excited to share my story with others.

I will continue writing, return to teaching and cultivate the relationships I have been so privileged to be blessed with in this short time we have on earth.
What motivates you to do your best work?
My family and I are trying to share more good things in the world.
Is being an author something you have always wanted to be or is it more of a hobby? If so what is it u want to do?
