Girl in the Spotlight is a heartfelt and hopeful story of how letting go of a dream helped me turn and face my past, grieve my losses, break a cycle, and finally begin to heal.

By age 25, I was a morning news anchor at a top-rated television station. But after signing with an agent who promised to take my career to the next level, I began to realize that a future in the spotlight would not dim a past filled with childhood trauma and loss. As a television journalist, I’d made a living by exploring and reporting other people’s stories; it was time to examine my own.
