A glimpse of a dark memory …….I had long forgotten, having not been in this vicinity for 30 years. But as I was approaching I thought to myself how could I have ever forgotten this place now seeing what stood tall in front of me.

My inspiration to write Josie Released from Within was the realization that I knew I had an amazing, true story to tell. To put it into action was what I believed I could do so I did.
