About the Author:

Krystle Nicole is a devoted mother to her 16-year-old son, Ian Myles. This devotional was birthed from the ashes of her own storm—written in the wake of a sudden divorce, heartbreak, and the brink of losing everything, including her mind. But God!

What started as private journal entries and quiet prayers became a deeply personal devotional, created with the hope of helping others walk through their own valleys with faith, grace, and strength. Krystle stands today better, not bitter. Blessed, not broken. And she prays this book blesses you in your journey the same way it blessed her in the healing.
