Dr. Francesca Flood is an author, speaker, and life coach whose work is thought-provoking, informative, and motivational. Her narrative comes from a place of truth, endurance, and resiliency. She was born in Brooklyn, New York, and holds a Doctor of Education and a Master’s in Theology. Her peer-reviewed work has been published in multiple journals, including the American Bar Association, Psychology, and Springer Nature.
Her pen weaves both non-fiction and fictional stories, each a mirror reflecting her enduring fascination with life’s unpredictability, the human narrative, and the metaphysical realm of possibilities. These narratives have the power to ignite curiosity and inspire change.
Writing is an art and a privilege. Like painting uses colors or music uses sound, writing involves creative expression through words. Here, words craft stories to evoke emotions, provoke thoughts, and convey deep meanings. Writing allows me to explore the depths of human emotion and life’s unexpected turns, often reflecting my personal insights or cultural contexts. It allows me to hone my skills, flame my imagination, and satiate my curiosity. It is where I invite readers on a journey with me to discover and experience a slice of life.
Five strangers' lives become intertwined by fate, trauma, and a mysterious bench that holds the key to their darkest moments. In this riveting novella, the author explores the depths of human experience, the thin line between life and the afterlife, and the eternal search for understanding humankind's true meaning.
It is a compilation of nine stories that make you consider each situation and contemplate what you would do in such circumstances, not always with the same outcome.
This is not your typical self-help book that tells you how great you are, pats you on the back, and sends you to buy the next book. It is for readers who desire courageous content, not just audacious titles. This book will challenge you to look closer and more truthfully at yourself.
For far too long, speaking about suicide was a taboo subject. Today, it is a topic we cannot avoid, and we are finally coming to terms with its pervasiveness across all races, ethnicities, religions, and professions. Yet, despite this growing awareness, we have to acknowledge and address the arc of suicide in the criminal justice system.
Coming soon.
