I was born in Kisumu, the third largest town in Kenya. We were a close family of eight children–three brothers and five sisters–of which I am the youngest.
When I was about 11 years old I went... >Read More

The King's Daughter
I had an "attitude." I'm sure you've heard that phrase before, but to me it was real. Only I didn't recognize it at the time.

I am dating a former alcoholic
One year ago in August I lost my husband to a heart attack. I had no desire to date or even to get involved with anyone. I have 2 children (girls) ages 12 and 17, and a home based business of my own. My computer was struck by lighting and in the process of getting it fixed, I met... >Read More

I have a miserable marriage
I am becoming very miserable in my marriage. My husband drinks and it has been a problem for a long time. He spouts out obscenities and accuses me of having an affair, calls me obscene names and tells me he'll take away my daughters (in front of them). All of this over some irrelevant disagreement or reproach from me–how... >Read More
