Julia has been an aspiring author for most of her life. She began writing poetry, music lyrics, and short stories in her youth. Her life experiences have given her a wealth of material in terms of connecting to the human psyche, understanding the human condition, and how people relate to one another, and the role faith in God influences our lives. She has not lived a life of glamour or privilege, nor has she had firsthand knowledge of a life of extreme poverty, yet she has seen enough of both worlds to recognize that either extreme could lead to a bittersweet existence. Her greatest desire is for people to learn through this story that the best way to effect positive change in their own lives and the lives of others is through authenticity and in community with the one true God.
