Desiree Moore is a mother, friend, and author. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Liberal Arts from Colorado State University and a Master of Humanities from Tiffin University.
When she decided to write a book based on her life story, Desiree struggled to determine where to begin and end.
However, after a chance encounter with a long-forgotten friend, Desiree realized her memories were not all intact, and she was inspired to create Helen—a woman with dissociative amnesia. Desiree used Helen as a vessel to tell her story about being raised by addicts, teen pregnancy, child loss, and the overwhelming guilt she has carried with her through life. Although a work of fiction, this story is the most honest thing Desiree has ever done.
The lived experiences of people inspire Desiree to write. She hopes to foster empathy and compassion within those who read her stories.
