“A beautiful collection of stories, thoughts, and poetry for the many seasons of life combined with shared prayers and writing prompts make this book an opportunity to embrace and find peace.” —Donna Watson, Christian Market

“Readers will find gold within these pages. Excellent writing often springs from deep sorrow that has softened hearts, widened vision, and press its bearer into the Man of Sorrows.” —Dee Brestin, author of The Friendships of Women

“Everbloom isn't just a book...it's a collection of stories that inspire courage, promote honesty, and promise freedom. When you travel through the journeys of these amazing women, don't be surprised if you discover hope for your own story.” —Caleb Kaltenbach, Lead Pastor, Discovery Church, and author of Messy Grace & God of Tomorrow

“Everbloom contains a smorgasbord of personal stories and reflections that put the strong writing of women and the reality of women’s lives on display. I suspect every reader will find themselves in one or more of these chapters.” —Carolyn Custis James, author of Half the Church: Recapturing God’s Global Vision for Women and Maelstrom: Manhood Swept into the Currents of a Changing World

“Honestly and beautifully told, this book will keep you in good company along your own journey.” —Shauna Niequist, bestselling author of Present Over Perfect

“Once I began reading these stories I couldn’t stop. Each writer is a strong woman who has learned much from life and God. Gritty, funny, painful, affirming. No punches are pulled, but grace abounds.” —Luci Shaw, poet and author
