So is the story of Diane Roark’s life. This book tells the intensely riveting story of how Diane grew up with an alcoholic mother. How she had a special needs son who underwent eighteen surgeries and died twice in her arms. Her blessings highlight details about competing at the World Food Championships. Diane chronicles the many heartaches she faced in honest and raw detail. The story doesn’t end in heartache. This memoir is about finding God’s blessings in the midst of difficult circumstances. It’s about how one woman ultimately found God’s love in the journey of forgiveness, healing, hope, and joy. Diane is the author of two cookbooks available on Amazon. 1. Dessert Champ Creamy Obsessions: Recipe Hacks and Tips For All Levels Of Baking 2. The Cookbook to Help Change the World: Rebuilding Families Around the Table with 5 Ingredient Comfort Food Obsessions I am trained to be an E.A.T. (Execution, Appearance, and Taste) certified food judge with the World Food Championships. My family has always accused me of being "crazy competitive," and now I am thrilled to have an outlet for it with Food Sports competitions and WFC. I am an extreme competitor in every sense of the word. I work hard, practice hard, constantly take classes, and always do my absolute best. My saying is, "Do Your Best and Let God Do The Rest." My husband, Jerry, and I have five adult children between the ages of 21 and 32, including a special needs son who has had 17 brain surgeries, twins, plus two adoptive children. My husband's sister and my hero, Marsha Harper, is my sous chef. She is a three-time cancer survivor.
