Triggers

While all of my books are free of on-page sex, graphic violence, or language, I do make a deliberate choice to address sensitive topics. I choose to focus on God’s power to redeem any mess, mistake, trauma, or pain.

If you are a sensitive reader who appreciates a heads-up, this page is for you. Please know I handle these topics with utmost care and pray over every word that I write.
