But behind the gilded gates of her Missouri estate lies a lifetime of pain, beginning with a childhood marred by domestic violence and culminating in a marriage that mirrors the very trauma she once fled.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen her husband, Charleton Magenta-a powerful construction magnate-announces his bid for governor without her knowledge, Constance's carefully composed world shatters.

She read my poem about teenage life to the class and they enjoyed it, and I knew then that God had blessed me to share my heart. Later in life I had the opportunity to become a trucker, which fit me well because I knew, during my downtime I could keep on writing; so I did, because I just knew, one day it would all work out if I didn't give up.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn 1976 I began hauling furniture, potato chips, and I shuttled trucks. Then from 1985 until 2007 I drove for Walmart stores and from 2007 until 2022 I worked for the Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) Transportation department. As a Program Specialist I taught students how to drive the big trucks, and from 2022 to the present I continue to work as a C.D.L. tester with DMACC. One thing I tell myself every day I teach students: \"Everybody had a first day, and everybody was new once.\" That keeps me grounded and to this day I continue to write because I still want to share my heart to bring hope, peace, and love to those who need it the most.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Timothy J.
