Monica Owens is a wife and mother of three young men. She is currently a stay-at-home mother who enjoys spending time with the Lord, reading, making crafts, and listening to and playing music. She served in the Navy, making history as one of the first African-American women to serve on an aircraft carrier, the CVN-69. What drives Monica are her children and grandchildren. Writing A Family's Betrayal was a healing experience and a chance to take back what the devil had stolen from her and her family. She also wrote it in hopes of motivating the young and the old to know their worth and to realize that they can overcome any obstacle in life. It all starts with the mind! She was recently diagnosed with lupus and is claiming her healing, as well as helping to raise awareness and money to find a cure. She has written to Georgia state Representatives Rob Woodall and David Scott to help with funding for finding a cure for lupus. Monica is a bubbly, outspoken, happy-go-blessed woman who loves to have fun and laugh. She feels everyone deserves their own happiness! It's cool to be free, but God wants you to be Free Indeed!
