Rita Wray Miller, a humble soul, a free spirit adopted at the age of five and destined to make an impact on the lives of others. She discovered that she could weave a thread of understanding through her life’s journey in this very honest, entertaining and heartwarming story. She is a servant leader on many levels, who has spent her life honoring, serving and working to improve the lives of others. She came to write this memoir by rewinding her time spent in foster care and recalling some of the most vivid moments of being an adoptee. She is now able to bring her witty and vivid memories to life right before your eyes, in hopes that her reality will awaken your imagination and give hope and inspiration. Determined Destination was written to lower the temperature of our ‘what ifs’ ‘whys’, and ‘why not’s and to raise the bar on the ‘I can, I will and I have’. We must come to know that all that we desire to be lies within us! Rita is married to Gerald Miller and they reside in Richmond, VA. She enjoys gardening, traveling and family time.
