Penny never thought in her wildest dreams, that someday she would write and independently publish
two novels. Her mother’s life story is the reason she moved forward on this venture. Mental Illness took
her grandmothers life when Penny’s Mom (Violet) was on the verge of thirteen years of age. Violet wore
a mask to hide the pain in her heart for many years, but emotional madness got the best of her. A
nervous breakdown brought her to rock bottom. God grabbed Violet out of the pit. Penny’s mother
prayed fervently that mental issues would never bring her daughter down. Penny’s Christian faith brings
security, contentment, and peace. Mental Health is a real, everyday facet of life. Although, not educated
in this field, Penny is an advocate for the emotionally challenged. Penny’s love for horses helps her
channel through emotional mood swings that still try to get a grip on her life. A favorite quote: “God
didn’t create any junk.”
