Growing up in Ashland, Oregon, Ria Warrick has loved to read ever since she was a little girl. Orphaned at the age of eight, she suffered abuse at the hands of a few of her foster parents and she eventually turned to drugs and men to fulfill her desire to be loved.

Through her love of reading, Ria finally found what she really needed when she asked Jesus into her heart at the age of twenty-six. As an aspiring author, she was never able to complete a story since there always seemed to be something missing.
