Rachelle D. Alspaugh

    Ako dcéra, manželka, matka a teraz aj adoptívna matka autorka čerpá zo svojej hlbokej osobnej skúsenosti s adopciou, ktorá bola poznačená bolesťou a stratou, no napokon sa zmenila na príbeh vykúpenia. Je tiež učiteľkou, ktorá vyučuje dva jazyky, a vedie biblické študijné skupiny pre ženy. S vášňou obhajuje práva siroty a snaží sa pomáhať ženám nadviazať hlboký vzťah s Kristom prostredníctvom modlitby a štúdia Biblie. Jej písanie aj cestovanie sú hlboko zakorenené v duchovnom objavovaní a v túžbe zdieľať Božie učenie, ktoré nachádza na svojich cestách po svete.
