A sickly child, Christina spent a lot of time reading fairytales. Never would she have imagined her real life would take on the qualities of a true Cinderella story. At the age of twenty-five, Christina meets Jeffrey, a Wall Street Titan. Life becomes a whirlwind. They were young, they were in love and they were rich. Life with Jeffrey, a man who lived on his own terms, was consuming and exciting until...
The morning of September 11, 2000, at 6 a.m. when the phone rang, the news on the other end of the call would change their lives forever. It was not the beginning or the end of their story but a cataclysmic moment that joined the past to the present and to the future. In this whirlwind of being, can fairytales really live up to the harsh realities and tragedies of life?
Ultimately Christina’s story is about self-discovery, unconditional love, family, and her deep belief that all that happens in life is for a reason. Life, Christina states is not something to regret. It is something to experience. Every experience is a step along the path to the full realization of who we are at our core and destined to be. There should be neither judgment, explanation nor expectation because life is just what it is―a lesson in self-discovery.

Christina H. Wilson is a first-generation ABC, otherwise known as American-born Chinese. She is one of the co-hosts of a grief-support podcast, a children’s book author, and most proudly, a mother. Her life took a dramatic turn when, as the mother of two young boys, she was widowed at the age of thirty-seven. A decade later, Christina met her present husband and his three children. They fell in love and together formed a modern-day Brady Bunch family. While her life of ups and downs was fantastical and tragic, she always held true to her beliefs in faith and love.
