Cross' own thoughts and humor provide hope and uplifting moments in helping patients and loved ones during some of the darkest and most troubling days of a patient's life.

Regina Maria Cross survived a craniotomy (brain surgery) with a low percentage of doing so in 1989 and another brain procedure, Gamma Knife, in 2007. In between that time she turned from a successful fashion career to Seminary, Ordination and a Master's in Spirituality. Along with her Ministerial responsibilities, Regina Maria focuses on her "Fam", her beloved Kenny, and their doggie-daughter and doggie-son, plus her love of writing one book at a time for the healing of humanity.
