Sometimes the smallest spark of hope can change everything
In A Search for Purple Cows: A True Story of Hope, readers are invited into a powerful journey from pain to possibility.
What appeared to be a picture-perfect marriage hid the truth of betrayal and abuse. With faith as the anchor and a life-changing reminder to “search for purple cows,” came the courage to walk away and begin again. This inspiring memoir shines a light on resilience, forgiveness, and the unshakable hope that can rise even from our brokenness and most difficult seasons in life.

“This story is riveting; you cannot put the book down. It is a real-life story of a very courageous woman who takes on the unthinkable!… A must-read, if you’ve ever been discouraged or disappointed.“

About the Author
I’m an author, speaker, and creative at heart, and I love sharing encouragement for the seasons when life feels messy or uncertain.
My book, A Search for Purple Cows, grew out of one of those really hard chapters in my own story—a place where I had to choose hope even when everything around me felt overwhelming. Writing it was my way of saying, “you’re not alone,” to anyone walking through their own valley.
When I’m not writing, you’ll usually find me with my camera in hand, making jewelry from sea glass, or out walking trails with my dog. I believe beauty can come from broken places, and I love reminding others of that truth. If my words can help you take one small step forward with a little more strength and courage, then I feel like I’m living my purpose.
