Rebecca Patrick-Howard and her family had an enviable life: the All-American family with two beautiful children living in one of the nicest houses in town, good jobs, and enjoying their quiet life. She was finally fulfilling her dream of working as a full-time writer and things could not have been better for the young family.
She and her husband had no idea that a year later they'd be burying their youngest son.
What followed was a nightmare.
Suddenly, they found themselves struggling not only emotionally, but financially and physically.
Then, through a series of more unfortunate events, they found themselves in the one place nobody wants to be-the cold, unfriendly, metal chairs of the welfare office.
Over the next few years they'd battle the shame, humiliation, and stigma of being in "the system", while still trying to deal with their individual grief, depression, and continuous financial setbacks.
Then came the ghosts.
FROM WELFARE TO BESTSELLER chronicles the events that led Rebecca's family to welfare and how, through a combination of hard work, ingenuity, and a little bit of luck, she became one of the top-selling paranormal authors on Amazon.
Through child loss, brain surgery, job losses, and isolation Rebecca and her husband set lofty goals, determined to use her books to pull themselves out of the hole they felt trapped in.
In this extremely personal memoir that's part inspiration, part guidebook, Rebecca shares the steps she took to reach the top and the stumbling blocks she met along the way.
