Ashes & Grace

Ellie Grace is fifty-one, a grandmother who bakes muffins, loses her glasses, and loves her quiet Ohio life. But at night, she slips behind the bar at TJ’s Taproom—not for the paycheck, but to keep an eye on the girls who come and go, frightened, nameless, and far too young.

The more she helps, the more her own life frays. When a plan to hide a girl goes wrong, Ellie realizes she can’t keep saving one woman at a time. She dreams of something bigger—Mercy House, a safe place to begin again. But building hope in the open means darkness finally knows her name.

Pre-Order Ashes & Grace Now

Hi, I'm Angela-

writer, speaker, counselor, grandma, and firm believer that some of the best healing happens around a kitchen table.

I help people find hope in real life — not the polished, filtered version, but the kind that shows up in grief, blended families, trauma, faith questions, and starting over. Whether through fiction, devotionals, workshops, or conversations, my heart is the same: We don’t ignore the hard things — we just don’t stay stuck there.

Hope is my rebellion.

Choosing hope in a hurting world is an act of defiance. And I want to help other women learn how to do that too.

The Bible is full of quiet resisters: ☑️Midwives who refused to kill babies. ☑️A young man who kept praying when prayer was outlawed. ☑️Friends

Rebellion Starts Here

Hope is rebellion. Not the soft, sentimental kind. Not optimism pasted over pain. Real hope is defiant. Hope is what rises when the facts say give up. When the diagnosis is final. When the system is rigged. When the grief has overstayed its welcome. When history suggests nothing ever changes. Hope looks at all of that and refuses to bow. In a world that profits from despair, hope is an act of resistance. When fear is used to control, hope breaks the spell. When bitterness fee

Scenic Route

Some dreams take the scenic route. When I was eight years old, my best friend and I used to sit under the low branches of the evergreens in her yard and play make-believe. That shady little space was our office, our farmhouse porch, our grown-up life headquarters. We’d talk about our futures like they were already written. In every version of the story, I was three things: A child psychologist, the owner of a horse farm, and an author. Life, as it does, took its winding roads
