Stories for readers moving
beyond easy answers
Novels and nonfiction exploring identity, purpose, and belonging.
When faith starts asking more of you
This space is for readers who sense that faith costs more than they were told—and who are willing to walk toward deeper clarity instead of settling for comfortable explanations.
Here you’ll find stories that take faith seriously, and nonfiction that helps you live what you believe in real, everyday circumstances.
Hey there, I'm Rachel.
My stories let readers wrestle with hard questions and walk out faithful choices.
These days, my calendar is shaped around four things:
- healing my body
- caring for my home and the people in it
- doing the work I'm called to do
(home educating and writing books) - tending relationships with family and friends
I'm not after easy.
I'm after intentional.
If that resonates, I'm glad you're here.
my books
Fiction
My novels explore identity, purpose, and belonging through characters navigating faith in real, complicated lives. These stories don’t rush resolution—they invite readers to experience the cost and goodness of faithful living.
Non-fiction
My nonfiction books—journals, studies, and guides—are designed to help readers practice faithfulness over time. These resources offer structure without formulas and clarity without flattening the work of obedience.
Start here
If you’re new here, the best place to start is with my novel Image of the Invisible—a story about identity, faith, and belonging—or with one of my journals or studies designed to help you live this work out.
Faith lived, not optimized
Everything I write is shaped by a simple conviction: clarity comes through obedience, not control.
That conviction is lived out through a Sabbath posture—a way of ordering life around trust rather than striving.
Sabbath, in this sense, isn’t about escape or self-care—it’s about trust. Trusting God with limits. Trusting Him with outcomes. Trusting that faithful work, done over time, bears fruit we don’t get to manage.
This posture shapes how I write, how I work, and how I live—and it shows up in every story and resource I create.
