SUE SAYS

“Two significant events happened to Lauri-Ann when she was young. Her father walked out when she was 8 years old, and a few years later her brother died. These experiences led to her lack of self-worth and a feeling of victimhood. What is inspiring about her story is her sheer determination to heal so that she could live the best life possible for her children and become keenly aware of who she was.”
