    About this ebook

    Finding Joy is a book of poems from a first-time author. A journey of finding one's way out of the darkness and into the light. Written as a journal in poems, this simple book reflects the grace of a loving God who grants us second chances. The author hopes to inspire the message that there is a place for all of us. These poems are the quiet story of one woman's redemption. A reminder there is healing in writing words and hope in speaking aloud what once trapped her in silence. May you find hope, follow the light, and find your joy in the morning just as she has. This is her prayer. Be inspired, dear friend. Be brave enough to write your truth as the Spirit of our loving God holds your hand. Be healed and be loved, for you always were.
