Cecilia Thomas was born in Manhattan N.Y., in the late 50s. She grew up in Queens, N.Y. with her mother, father and three siblings. She graduated from High School in the mid-70s then majored in computer programming in college. For years, Cecilia worked in the clerical and data entry field.

Cecilia is a breast cancer survivor since 2000. After her recovery, she enrolled in Empire State College, received an A.S. Degree in Human Services and later obtained an Infant/Toddler Child Development Associates (CDA) teachers credential.
Cecilia’s love and compassion for people brought her into areas of serving and assisting others. As a church and community outreach volunteer, she served many and assisted school age children through AmeriCorps Literacy Program. She served as administrator to Merridy Aggen, the founder of Pray911 (24/7 prayer hotline). She is the illustrator for authors; Melanie Styles (Gilmore) and Ernestine Terrell.
During Cecilia’s traumatic marriage, she began to feel that eventually she would be helping women who were hurting emotionally. After writing this book, she knew that her message of awareness, hope and encouragement could/would finally reach women everywhere.
