The author changed her name after her divorce.

- When I divorced, I kept my last name to remain connected to my son.
- After my ex-husband married a woman with a similar name, I wanted to change my name.
- Instead of going back to my maiden name, I made up an entirely new name that helped me find myself.
I easily recall the lawyer saying he could change my name as part of the divorce proceedings. But it didn't make sense for me to take back my maiden name at that time.
