Winnie Garza's career as a Life Enrichment Coordinator is a treasured memory for her, even in retirement. Winnie, a wife, mother, and grandmother, lives in West Michigan with her husband of fifty years.
A lover of nature and simple joys, Winnie enjoys biking, camping, boating, hiking and beach days with friends and family. Spending time with her loved ones, especially her grandchildren, makes her happiest.
Creative by nature, Winnie also finds joy in gardening, embroidery, decorating and cooking. But above all, she also loves words and how they can offer comfort, inspire healing and, when woven together with care, tell a beautiful story. Her writing reflects her deep appreciation for connection, memory, and the richness of ordinary life.

3) This book is a great read-a true story about the authors’ turbulent childhood, and how God made his presence known to her, and restored her life and spirit to a greater place of peace and forgiveness. Kleenex while reading is a must!!

10) Short but powerful read. The author shares how her faith helped to transform a traumatic upbringing into a life full of meaning and wisdom.
Just finished it yesterday - very proud of you Winnie - you made yourself vulnerable and shared intimately how you personally worked your way through tough stuff. It seems important and special for you and your close loved ones - but also many others this may speak to. Good on you 💗

This will be hard to read since you are a childhood friend. Sadly, I had no idea. So grateful for Gods redeeming love, power and grace.

Love you Winnie Garza!❤️
You are the bravest person I’ve ever known, and have an AMAZING testimony to share. Thank you for being willing to let God use your story to show others the victory God offers us if we are willing to give it all to Him.

Oh Winnie. What you have wrought out of a heartbreaking traumatizing childhood. You are so brave and I keep thinking how miraculous that you also had such a great sense of humor throughout these years.‼️ I am blessed to know a part of you and wish I could know you more. I don’t know if you remember that I worked in mental health and so treated youngsters who have been in the same way. This is an unbelievable scourge of our use and of course, all around the world. I just want you to know that I’d always been a huge advocate of children/teens that this is happened to. My heart aches for what you went through. God bless you.
