Cristina's Dream To Connect
From a young age, Cristina Terrazas found joy in the world of books. The stories she read transported her to marvelous places, introduced her to magical characters and filled her imagination with wonder and possibilities.
At 16, Cristina was diagnosed with epilepsy, a condition that would become a defining part of her journey. Years later, while crossing a major intersection in her hometown of Lake Worth, Florida, she suffered a life-threatening grand mal seizure, now known as a generalized tonic-clonic seizure. Thankfully, a Good Samaritan called 911. Cristina was airlifted by trauma helicopter to the hospital.
Her heartfelt search for the stranger who saved her life was eventually featured on her local news channel.

In 2018, Cristina underwent brain surgery at the Cleveland Clinic in Weston, Florida, to treat her seizure condition. Thanks to the exceptional care she received, Cristina remained seizure-free for many years following the procedure.
Cristina had always dreamed of writing children’s books. With the encouragement of a close friend, she finally decided to pursue that dream. In 2025, she proudly self-published her first children’s book, Today, Ms. Turtlette Talks About SELF-LOVE.
In addition to becoming an author, Cristina embarked on another heartfelt mission—traveling across the United States with her beloved character, Ms. Turtlette, to inspire self-discovery and share the power of self-love. Her goal is to bring her book to strangers who become friends in every state. So far, Cristina has shared her story with audiences in Florida, Pennsylvania, Georgia and New York.
