Tami's Bookshelf
"...I paint pictures with words, wisdom from my experiences. I use words to make sense of it all. I hope to be helpful."

Face The Sun
March 16, 2026! We all have stories we find hard to face, but turning our back on our past also cuts us off from trusting and loving who we really are, and thereby loving others. In Face the Sun, eight authors decided to turn and see it all, to let it go. When reading their words, you will see yourself and find strength to handle your own stories. Parenting, self-love, mental and physical illness, trust, retirement and identity, relationships, money and food scarcity.
Brave Paths to Gratitude
#1 New Release! Eight authors bravely describe their biggest, bravest moments - with vulnerability, self-compassion and grace. Child advocacy, pregnancy from rape - twice, caring for parents with dementia, abuse and foster care, surrendering old beliefs, suicide prevention, relationships, core values. Living it: brave. Writing it: next level. “It’s the most selfless form of generosity, sharing your pain to help other people.” A.B.
Making Space
for Me
Pivotal, heart-lifting and miraculous. After aging out of foster care, and an impulsive phone call, Tami quits her job, and drives to Michigan to help take care of her paralyzed gramma.
During her visit, Tami remembers her own abuse, discovers her mother’s buried secrets and makes a quick, impactful decision - that destroys a family and shakes the community.
