A Note From The Author for UNBOUND:

I wrote the first draft of this particular book years ago, during a difficult time in my life, when I desperately needed an escape. It was after the birth of my second child, struggling with postpartum depression and a toddler newly-diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, and it was into this story that I poured all my self-doubt and sorrows. Would I ever be able to return to the person I once was, or was she lost forever, that woman who was unburdened by anxieties and fears and insecurities? Was I really strong enough, smart enough, brave enough, to care for these two little girls I had brought into this world? Would I ever be truly deserving of their love, when I could barely love myself most days? Writing Rozlyn’s story and seeing her struggle with these same questions under vastly different circumstances, and come out the other side a more confident and courageous woman, helped me to find healing in my own life, and somewhere amongst the monsters and the magic entwined within her story, I realized that I had written the next chapter of my own as well – an exploration of grief, a journey of rediscovery and reaffirmation, and learning to love yourself even during the darkest of days.
