Clean Clothes and Other Miracles

At five years old, she learned how to search for spare change to keep the power on.

Years later, she would become the mother who never let her children wonder where their next meal was coming from.

Clean Clothes and Other Miracles is a raw and deeply moving memoir about surviving childhood addiction, enduring years of criticism and emotional abuse, battling depression, and learning how to build a different life for the next generation.

Through stories of buttered noodles, school pickups, psychiatric hospitalization, overflowing snack cabinets, and the ordinary acts of love that change everything, this memoir reveals that healing doesn't happen all at once.

It happens one choice at a time.

One day at a time.

One miracle at a time.

Because sometimes the greatest miracles aren't extraordinary.

Sometimes they're clean clothes, a stocked pantry, and children who grow up knowing they are loved.
