Derra was also featured and published in a book displaying high school students who were selected based on their poetic skills. Her work had also gained her governor’s honors in her high school years.
In 2008, Derra Byrd discovered that her writing was about to change paths. She was involved in teaching AWANA at her church. She felt a calling from the Lord to really write out and teach some powerful messages to her middle-school age students. It was during these years of teaching AWANA that Derra and her family were faced with many devastating circumstances. In 2011, Derra felt the conviction of the Lord to write about these devastating situations and how her faith and trust in God helped her through. She is very thankful for everything that God has taught her and the faith that she has gained. Derra credits God for everything that she has in her life and knows that without God nothing would be possible.view less
