Stolen Gems is Memoir about moving through life experiences, where each experience robs you of a special gem needed to navigate life. There are precious gems stolen throughout our childhood, right on through adulthood. Gems are the pieces of ourselves taken away unknowingly, through situations and circumstances beyond our control at that very moment. Stolen Gems takes you on journey through my life as a teenage mom; from the childhood events that created a search for love in the wrong places; just to find out that the love I was searching for was really self-love.
