Grace Filled Lemons

There are moments in life when God moves so quietly that you don’t realize He’s rearranging your world until you’re standing in a sunrise you didn’t expect. Today is one of those moments for me.

After years of writing, revising, doubting, rewriting, praying, and waiting…

 My debut novel, When the Fog Lifts, is officially published and available on Barnes & Noble. 

This story began as a whisper — a single image, a fragile spark — during a season where my own life felt wrapped in mist. Chronic illness, grief, shifts in identity, spiritual growth, motherhood, and the gentle tug of God calling me deeper… all of it shaped the pages of this book.

I wrote pieces of this novel in the in–between places:

• at 2 a.m. when pain kept me awake

• in the soft hush of morning prayer

• while waiting for test results or sitting in quiet hospital corners

• in the exhausted but holy spaces of motherhood

• and in those grace-filled moments where God reminded me that hope is always being restored

Writing became prayer.

Story became healing.

And healing slowly became a testimony.

When the Fog Lifts follows characters who wrestle with their own shadows — faith, grief, identity, forgiveness, longing, and the aching beauty of new beginnings. It’s a novel about what emerges on the other side of spiritual winter… and how God leads us into light even when the pathway is unclear.

This book holds pieces of my heart, my faith, my healing, and the promise that God never wastes our suffering. He transforms it.

To hold this finished book in my hands feels like God placing a long-awaited gift gently into my palms and saying,

“See? I was here the whole time.”

If you feel led to support my work or simply want to spend time with a story rooted in hope, healing, and quiet redemption, you can order the book here:
