Christina wrote a 50,400 word autobiography in November (2011) during NanoWrimo's National Writing month at the request of her stepdaughter and is continuing to revise it. It covers her life all the way from surviving Reyes syndrome as a child to waking up at the epicenter of the Northridge earthquake as well as giving up her California acting career for the good of her family.
