Discover the Truth Behind the Lies: A Memoir of Survival and Resilience
Every day, headlines tell stories of financial exploitation—but what they rarely reveal is the emotional chaos that leads to manipulation, the devastating fallout of deception, and the arduous journey to recovery. My debut memoir, Blast Radius: Shrapnel, Shards, and Scars from the Lies I Lived, dives deep into that hidden world with unflinching honesty, heartfelt passion, and the wit of a close friend who understands your struggles.
In Blast Radius, I invite you to witness the unraveling of a life built on deception—one that engulfed not only me but also my children, family, and friends. This is the story of how striving to be the perfect wife, daughter, and friend can blind you to the lies, abuse, and fraud surrounding you. It’s a story of resilience, showing how to piece your life back together when everything falls apart—even when those closest to you stand in your way.
I didn’t write this memoir just for myself—though it was a cathartic process. I wrote it for you:
The person who doubts every decision they make.
The person who trusts everyone but themselves.
The person who chases perfection but never feels good enough.
This is my raw and unfiltered story. It’s a glimpse into a part of my life that, until recently, was hidden from everyone except a select few who were either close to me or legally required to know. My hope is that sharing my experience will make a difference in someone else’s life—that it will help you recognize your own strength and find your way through the chaos.
Order Blast Radius today and take the first step toward understanding, healing, and reclaiming your power.

“Angel, everything will be fine."
Those were the reassuring words spoken by the man I loved and trusted most in the world—my high school sweetheart, my husband.
But moments later, my life would be forever shattered.
In the summer of 2009, my husband was sentenced to prison, and the foundation of my existence—the love, trust, and truth I had built my life on—began to crumble. And that was just the beginning.
Each passing day brought new revelations: lies I never saw coming, betrayals that cut deeper than I could imagine, and challenges that seemed insurmountable. Trusting others without question had been my way of life—until it led to my ultimate reckoning.
In the blink of an eye, I became a single mother, tethered to my home for six months under house arrest, standing frantic and terrified as a U.S. Probation Officer fastened my electronic monitor.
This is my story—a raw and unfiltered account of the shrapnel, shards, and scars left by the lies I lived.
Blast Radius: Shrapnel, Shards, and Scars from the Lies I Lived takes you on a gripping journey through betrayal, survival, and the fight to reclaim your life.
Because, as shocking as it sounds, it could happen to you.
Order your copy today to experience the unforgettable true story of a life blown apart—and the resilience to rebuild.
Experience the shrapnel, shards, and scars from the lies I lived.

“Gripping and emotional reminder of the power and strength of the human spirit."
