I am a single mother of three amazing adult children. I have two sons and one daughter. I also have two beautiful grandchildren. I enjoy cooking, baking, gardening, working on my home, long walks, day trips, listening to music, festivals and family traditions. I love to travel and have done so both domestic and internationally since I was a child. I have lived in Maryland since very early childhood and as adult. I raised my children in Maryland. I have always been the type of person who likes to challenge myself and my body. I have gained and lost weight many times over the years due to emotional and stressful eating habits. I enjoy working out and trying to stay fit and healthy. I have completed a Marathon, half marathon, 5K’s, the Tough Mudder and Muddy Princess challenges. My mother was my rock, my role model and my hero. When she passed away and my marriage ended several years back, I focused my entire life for my children. When my children were grown up and moving on with their own lives, I decided in 2018 I needed a change of scenery and moved to the Smoky Mountains in Sevierville, TN. I had visited that area many times years past on vacation and fell in love with the area, the beauty and the southern charm of the folks there and felt it harder to leave. I constantly set goals for myself no matter how big or small. Everything I set my mind to accomplish I complete. It isn’t always easy but nothing worth achieving usually is. While I was taking some time for myself living in Tennessee, I wanted to accomplish another goal. That was to write an autobiography about my childhood trauma, my adoption, love and loss and my survival. With the publication of this book, I can add author to the list of accomplishments in my life. Of all of my accomplishments, my three wonderful, loving and intelligent children are my greatest and for them I wrote this book as my legacy to them and as a tribute to my mother Soon Name Lee that God so blessed me with who in many ways sacrificed her life for me.
