About the Author: Hi, my name is Lacey, readers know me as Madam Lu. I was born and raised in a small town in southern Utah, USA Where I met my husband and we are currently residing in that same area. We have two children-One boy and one girl. They are very active and bring loads of joy to us everyday! I have always enjoyed writing poetry, and thinking of stories I want to write. Most of my writing is based on emotions, thoughts, feelings or memories. Then there are the few that were just because or for an assignment. I also love being with family and friends, hiking, camping, 4wheeling, rappeling, rock climbing, swimming, music, art-mostly drawing and photography, Church, reading and sleeping....and of course Games of various kinds ranging from cards, to board games, video games and table top rpg (role playing games). I am a Wife, a Mother, a Foster Mom, sister, daughter, cousin and friend. I am a writer, a poet, a photographer, artist and a believer. I am a "Mormon,"-a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I live it, I love it and I am grateful for it! I write the things of my heart in hopes to help others. It is my hope that people who are hurting or struggling in any way, will be able to see and know that they are not alone. There is help out there and all around, we just have to find the courage within ourselves to reach out and seek for that help.
