PRAISE FOR “FREE FALL”

From breakdown to breakthrough moments, she gifts readers a rare glimpse into life after death, vulnerability, resilience, and hope for the future. I found myself cheering her on, whispering, “Yes, you can,” during the darkest of dark hours of a journey most women pray they will never have to experience or navigate.
