The wildest thing Mary ever did wasn’t falling in love—it was choosing herself.
Step into Mary’s story in Ducks Run, Horses Fly.
Welcome!
For many years, I’ve helped others discover their potential through movement, meditation, and self-care techniques. While these things remain central to my life, spirituality, writing, and the twelve steps are my personal anchors. As I uncovered the roots of my struggles and the forces that shaped my recovery, a simple writing prompt grew into something much larger. Ducks Run, Horses Fly is a gripping, heartfelt novel about survival, resilience, and redemption- and the moment a young woman reclaims her life. I hope this story moves you, because we often don’t realize our strength until we are called to find it.
I would love to hear your thoughts on the book. Please email me through my contact page and follow me on Facebook and Instagram.

Fifteen-year-old Mary has always been the responsible one. But when her overwhelmed father walks out, she's left holding together a home that's falling apart — a suicidal, drinking mother, five younger siblings who depend on her, and a once-privileged world unraveling around them.
As the pressure builds, she spirals into self-destructive choices, until she's forced to face what she's been avoiding: she can't fix everything or save everyone. As Mary sheds her image of perfection, an authentic self emerges — because sometimes ducks run, horses fly, and extraordinary things happen when we choose hope.
