While traveling on the road of an ordinary day, Nora was suddenly swept into what seemed to be the classroom of hell.­ Within the shadows of soul-numbing loss, counterbalancing hope shined when the divine omniscience of God's powerful assurance and grace unfolded and guided her towards redemption.­

Devastated by a brutal murder-suicide and string of betrayals, Nora's pastor encouraged her to fight forward in faith. As she did, she discovered the truth about love and forgiveness while guiding her grieving son Toby towards restored hope by supporting him in building a hospital in a poverty stricken village overseas.­ While offering Toby new meaning, Nora discovered profound new meaning for herself.

Lucia St Monica's first novel "Only God Can Turn This Mess Into His Messages" leads us to recognize the early signs of domestic violence and it's irrefutable connection to fatherlessness as she simultaneously inspires us to reconsider how we respond to our time on earth.­ Her life experiences and research is currently leading her to outreach several statewide family support-based programs in search for answers to the missing links in our system as she strives to bring dignity to fatherless children and long overdue support to their caretakers.

Lucia is passionate about exemplified inspiration, cultural diversity and raising awareness of family issues.­
