About The Author

Patty Tierney worked as a prostitute to support her three children for seventeen years. After getting sober at forty-six years old, her life began to change, and she eventually began a career in caregiving. In 2005 she started her first caregiving company, which she successfully ran for ten years before selling it and shifting her focus to being a private caregiver.

Patty and her husband, John, together host retreats called Transform with the Tierneys, through which they provide a safe space for people to share their stories and practice self-love, acceptance, and forgiveness. For more about Transform, see www.transformwiththetierneys.com.

Today, Patty’s three adult children are thriving and successful, and she adores her three grandchildren. She and John live happily in Encino, California; they are best friends, and they love being together. When she’s not caregiving, hosting Transform, or spending time with family, Patty keeps herself busy with her passion for writing.
