The author of this book started out in life as a shy, quite, skinny little girl. In her teens she met her opposite in personality, but her match in love. This young man helped Tammy "out of her shell", and showed her how to not be afraid of having a little fun, letting her hair down, and discovering what true loyalty was. Together they have made many memories, including two beautiful children (Alec and Elise), and enjoy life and all its challenges.
