Story Description
Emily's childhood was stolen by fear.
Behind closed doors, her father's anger left scars-some on her skin, others buried deep in her heart. Silence became her prison, and pain drove her into drugs, rage, and self-destruction.
But when a friend invites her to church, Emily hears something she's never believed before: that God sees her, loves her, and can heal what feels unfixable.
Her journey won't be easy. Temptation pulls hard, old wounds reopen, and forgiveness seems impossible. Yet step by step, Emily discovers a love stronger than her past.
Years later, she finds herself at her father's deathbed, the one place she never thought she'd return. This time, she isn't the broken little girl he once controlled-she's a woman transformed by grace. And as she whispers words of forgiveness, she learns the true power of mercy.
Raw, honest, and filled with hope, When Mercy Found Me is a story of pain, healing, and the God who never lets go.

All That Was Left of Me
He was lost. Worn down by the past, unsure of the future. But even in the silence, something greater was calling. This is a story about grace, healing, and the love that never lets go. Content Note: This story includes themes of grief and healing following the death of a loved one by suicide (not depicted on the page), as well as scenes involving a serious car accident, medical trauma, and emotional distress in a hospital setting. Reader care is encouraged. Author's Note: This story is very personal to me. Growing up, I experienced deep struggles with depression. I'm grateful to say that I no longer carry those thoughts, but those moments shaped me-and they left behind a softness in my heart for anyone who is hurting in silence. I wrote this book to explore the grief that often goes unspoken, the quiet battles people face, and the power of showing up for someone-even when they seem like a stranger. Sometimes the people who seem "attention-seeking" are actually crying out for help the only way they know how. I've been there. And I know how much it matters when someone chooses to care anyway. At the heart of this story is my faith. I believe in God wholeheartedly, and it's His love that carried me through my darkest seasons. This book is a reflection of that-of how God gives us second chances, how He sits with us in the pain, and how He brings healing even when everything feels broken. If you're hurting, please know this: you are not alone. There is hope. There is help. And there is a God who sees you, loves you, and wants to carry you through. Please reach out: U.S. Suicide & Crisis Lifeline Available 24/7, completely free, and confidential. You can also talk to a trusted friend, family member, pastor, counselor, or anyone who can walk with you through the darkness. There's no shame in needing support.
