Monica Hall is an author, adoptee, and birthmother. 

She was born in Canada, adopted by American parents, and raised in Anchorage, Alaska where she spent the first sixteen years of her life and had many of the foundational experiences that drive her writing. 


In addition to working as a business consultant, she has founded several successful companies and has worked in advertising and marketing for more than twenty years. 

 
Monica published essays on her website and wrote her memoir to provide others with understanding, courage, and empowerment. She wants readers to realize that no matter the difficulties they face, it’s possible to heal and succeed.  


Monica is a speaker, life coach, and mentor. She has three grown children and lives in Sacramento, California.
