I know how it sounds, but when I say bikers “kidnapped” my twins, it’s not what you think. I’m a single mom working two jobs to raise Anna and Ethan, my three-year-olds. Their father left when they were babies, and most days, I barely keep it together. One afternoon at the grocery store, I was…

It began on a quiet Saturday morning. My daughter, Lily, came clomping into the kitchen wearing my wife’s high heels, red lipstick smeared across her cheeks. I laughed — until she said something that froze me mid-sip of coffee. “Mommy said I can wear her lipstick when I go visit her other house.” My smile…

His father, uncle, and sister were all involved in acting, so it wasn’t a surprise when he started appearing in commercials at a young age….

When my first marriage collapsed, it was my five-year-old daughter, Lily, who taught me how to keep breathing. Her tiny hand in mine was stronger than any promise, her laughter louder than my grief….
