Karon Ruiz: is a wife, mother and grandmother who loves her crazy life in Central California. Family inspires her, Faith grounds her, and pursuing her passion for writing humbles her. Grace In The Shadows is a story of healing and redemption that asks us all (even its author) to look into our souls and to judge not, but instead to believe in the Lord’s power to transform. To take us in our darkest moment and use us to touch others. Karon is thankful for the time to devote to her craft even as God uses her battle scars to illuminate the Lord’s limitless grace and love: the place where she herself has found healing. Her favorite verse, Isaiah 42:3, weaves itself through this book: What is bruised and bent, He will not break; He will not blow out a smoldering candle.
