Bailey LarroquetteBailey Jued Larroquette was born in Fort Vermillion, Alberta, after her mother survived a kitchen fire while pregnant with her. She spent most of her childhood in the northernmost part of the province. When she was fourteen, the family started movingevery year in the middle of the school year for three consecutive years, eventually muddling up her high school courses to the point that she dropped out. The first few years of her working life were spent largely in the hospitality industry: waiting tables, washing dishes and prep cooking. A completed long-distance course on hospitality management led to enrolment in a high school program with the same correspondence company, and within a year Bailey was a high school graduate, again with honours. Since then she has driven a night taxi in a neighbourhood with a high alcohol consumption rate and later upgraded to a school bus licence and then a long-awaited dream: a truckers licence. She raised two daughters alone with nothing but duct tape, faith, and a lot of peanut butter. Today, although medically retired, Bailey still works on creating music CDs as well as books, and works as a security guard and private investigator when not refurbishing old furniture or spending time with her dog and cats. Life has never been easy or completely painless, but Bailey wants you to know God gives us what He can handle . . . and then waits for us to call on him for help, for strength and for purpose.
