Her parents separated when she was four and got back together when she was twelve.

The tools she suggests are realistic, usable, and have proven successful for many. Her hope is that her readers will walk away with useful information, skills, and ideas that are easy to incorporate into their relationships and can lead to a happily ever after.Peters resides in the Charlotte area of North Carolina and in Alpharetta, Georgia.
