A Moment in Time

In 2002, one catastrophic moment changed everything. In a split second of twisted metal, shattered glass, and silence, a horrific car crash nearly stole my life. What followed was a journey I never expected to make—a long, painful, and profound fight to survive, to heal, and to rediscover who I was when everything familiar had been torn away. A Moment in Time is my story of resilience born from wreckage. It follows the raw reality of trauma, the brutal honesty of recovery, and the quiet moments when hope felt impossibly far away. From the hospital rooms and surgeries to the emotional darkness no one could see, this book reveals the strength it takes to rebuild a life piece by fragile piece. But it is also a story of triumph—of the people who stood by me, the lessons I learned when my world was broken open, and the unexpected power that comes from surviving what should have ended me. Told with vulnerability and courage, this memoir is a testament to the human spirit's ability to rise after unthinkable devastation. It is for anyone who has ever faced a battle they didn't choose—and found a way to keep going.
