Purpose & Mission
Books That Help People Navigate Change
Some moments in life don’t come with instructions. My work exists for those moments.
Across multiple books written for children, families, caregivers, and professionals, I create clear, human tools that help people understand change, make sense of complexity, and move forward with confidence and care.
These are not books meant to be read once and set aside. They are resources designed to be used, revisited, and shared.
My writing supports when:
- A loved one begins to forget.
- A child notices something has changed.
- A caregiver suddenly carries more responsibility.
- A system meant to protect feels confusing or overwhelming.

Engulfed with despair, fear, anxiety, restless nights, and overwhelming sense of helplessness.

Honestly, if you work in healthcare and have a resident who needs a guardian I have the most amazing person, Homer Hartage. Never, EVER have I seen such love and devotion to a client in my life… it takes a lot to impress me because I have such high standards… my mind is blown. Please let him know if you should have a need for a guardian. Your client / resident truly could not be in better hands. He’s simply amazing. So refreshing to see a guardian treat their client like a loved one instead of a pay check or commodity…. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life… and I’ve been doing this a minute.
