Book Cover & Preview Text
An excerpt from “The Face of Deception”:
“I could not believe that he was twisted enough to think that I would go back to all of that, especially after everything he had made me suffer. Once upon a time, he was my sin and my salvation and there was no possible way he would be either one ever again. I wanted him to know that I was no longer the same girl he once controlled and manipulated, so I turned my back to him."

She eventually transferred to the University of Victoria where she obtained her B.A. in English and has aspirations of becoming a teacher.
