Summary

Donna Wayles is a Christian wife, mom, teacher, and domestic abuse survivor. Beginning as a young teenager singing in the choir and helping in children’s church, she faithfully led others to faith in Jesus Christ on several mission trips, teaching and counseling Christian women and teenagers, singing, and speaking at conferences. She now lives in Rhode Island with her amazing husband and daughter, four spoiled bunnies, and Skittles, the cat. When not writing bestselling novels, Donna likes to take pictures and create scrapbooks full of happy memories. Her debut book, https://amzn.to/2Id6QCE (I'll Pray for You), is a brave recounting of her escape from mental abuse and domestic violence as a military wife into God's happier ever after. Listen as she shares her testimony of Jesus and how he has played a vital role in her healing.
