Publishers Weekly Features 'Motorhome Prophecies'

Greetings,
Sharing some exciting news: Publishers Weekly featured my upcoming book, Motorhome Prophecies: A Journey of Healing and Forgiveness.
My prayer is this book helps others through adversity and trauma, foster mental well-being, and instill a sense of gratitude for their journey. Your support means the world in spreading this message.
You can click here to see what Publishers Weekly says. Here’s a snippet:
Journalist and broadcaster Sheffield debuts with a searing memoir of her turbulent childhood and its scars. The fifth of eight children born to a Mormon family, Sheffield spent much of her youth in a motorhome that traversed the country, fleeing “child-custody buttinskies” who sought to remove the author and her siblings from their parents. Lorded over by her father, a violent, self-proclaimed prophet who subjected the author to “indoctrination sessions” on her “evilness and failures,” Sheffield longed for a normal life and left at 18 to attend college. Still, depression and suicidal ideation stalked her into adulthood. Among other episodes, Sheffield describes a horrific assault from one of her schizophrenic brothers when she was 17 and the family clashes it precipitated when her father at first refused to believe her; breaking from Mormonism at 22 and later joining an Episcopalian church; and her efforts to separate childhood spiritual trauma from her adult faith (“abusive, man-made religion is a shoddy substitute for divine Relationship... I was looking for God in all the wrong places”) … readers will be riveted by Sheffield’s unrelenting efforts to make sense of her upbringing.”
