About Me
Kelly Jo Wilson’s journey as an author began with silly tales about Willy Worm in first grade.
She toyed with the idea of writing, but after the devastating loss of her older sister at 31 years old, she pursued a career in nursing, driven by a passion for helping others heal and find strength.
As a registered nurse, she’s been privileged to witness the profound impact of human connection, especially in gut-wrenching moments. Despite her love for nursing, she couldn’t ignore the persistent call to return to her first love: writing.
God steered through her own brokenness, personal mistakes, and heartache, showing that her stories, infused with His grace, could encourage others.
She stumbles trying to be obedient, writing love stories that navigate the messiness of life and into the beauty of redemption. Through stories, she hopes to connect with women who, like her, have faced their own battles and are seeking a reminder of the transformative power of love and grace.
Here's a Peek Into Kelly's Heart
God’s grace poured out in physical form . . .
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6, NKJV
The Broken Parts of Kelly
As a teenager, I looked in the mirror one day and didn’t like what I saw. That moment sent me down a spiral I’ve struggled with my entire life.
At one point, my mother looked at my skin and bones and feared I would die. I never meant to hurt anyone. I was trying to live up to the person I wanted to see.
I finally realized that person doesn’t exist.
I adopted a never good enough mindset that bled into all aspects of my life. And the struggle was completely internal. On the outside, I was cheerful.
But I never let anyone know the deepest truth about me: Every mistake, every lie I told myself, and every horrible decision stuck inside my heart like a thorn. I didn’t deserve to be blessed.
But Jesus Christ showed me something different.
My worth isn’t about me, it’s because of Him . . . His sacrifice, His glory, His merit. Through the grace of God, His Father.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
-II Corinthians 5:17, NKJV
You are a beautiful, capable, unique individual who can do anything in Christ.
