Review:

Meditation on Woman is a deep look into the mind of a woman through fifty-six meditations. Through ups and downs, and twists in turns in our lives, Aline captures every moment. Of life, of death, or just the everyday of living, the deepness of the fictional story is profound. She turns the simplest of events into something complex, memorable, and insightful, readers will walk away feeling endowed.


The Evening Sun-A Widow's Journey is heart wrenching yet relatable to others who have felt the authors pain.
