CC Rossi, I am the youngest child in a big family. I was born and raised in a small town in New York. I did not set out to become an author; it just happened. There have been many challenges and deep rewards along this road of healing and self-discovery. As a way to reflect and become more aware writing has become my guide for reflecting and becoming more aware. Sharing stories helps me deal with stress and share what I have learned from my journey. It allows you to be creative and connect with others. It can also help you find general truths.
