Hi, I'm Jen

I'm the wife of a Marine veteran of nearly 30 years, a mom, and the author of Finding God in the Trenches. For years I looked fine on the outside while grief stacked up faster than I could name it. I wrote the book I needed, and now I write and speak for the woman carrying more than anyone around her knows.

"The words she speaks are true, and they cut through the pretty package we try to wrap ourselves in. They speak of the God who can celebrate our triumphs but sees us in our weakness and dark moments."
