ReadersMagnet displayed La Wanda Marrero's memoir, “My Love Was Blind: Food for Thought,” at the 2022 ALA Annual Convention and Exhibition held last June 24-27, 2022, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Washington D.C.
This book evolved as she committed herself to her co-authored book “Blinded Love.” She didn't realize that she had poured herself into the story, and her thoughts flowed unconsciously to the paper, reaching over 80,000 words of her past loves and the root that lay beneath her imagination.
Marrero held God at the forefront of her writing process. She said: “God revealed to me the inner truth and the debts of his salvation for me.” She mentioned being unknowingly guilty and ignorant to understand how she contributed, but her eyes were opened to “My Love Was Blind” when God shone her light on her.
She took inventory of all her past loves and herself through the eyes of maturity and realized that there was so much work to do on herself. She had to learn self-love and how to give herself love and appreciation. She said that she figured out that no one can make her whole by faith and that by the power of the Lord and Savior, she was whole, the pieces just had to come together.

After publishing “Alice N Crackland” in 2008, she realized her writing was an essential tool in acknowledging, accepting, and overcoming the challenges she faced as a child. She thought others could also benefit from learning to express themselves through the art of writing and pretense. It's within her understanding that her past addictions and actions impacted many lives.
The Lord's grace is her redemption road, a bridge to healing. Having firsthand knowledge of dysfunctional family dynamics has motivated her passion for becoming licensed in her field.
She recently opened Unstoppable Publishing Company to give others an opportunity to store their experiences in between the covered pages, making room for the new. She has co-authored several books such as “Alice N Crackland,” “Unstoppable,” “When the Vow Breaks,” “Mounted Wings Beyond What I See,” “Blinded Love,” “My Love was Blind,” “Whole Again,” “Let Him Tell it,” and the publication of her mother's, Marie Yvette Simmons' 1st book, “Marie's Treasure Chest,” and Marie's 2nd book “My Life it's Nothing Personal and Neither is Yours.” An Author's Memoir is in process, and a host of other evolving projects.
