I grew up in a picture-perfect American home — but behind the doors was a story I never imagined I’d tell.

Abuse. Silence. Survival.

The woman who saved my life was our housekeeper, Liz. A Black woman with no voice in 1960s America. But she had faith—and the kind of courage that changes lives.

My book Liz Here Now is about her. About me. About the moment hope walked in the door. And now, that story is becoming a film.
