About Michelle Lee Smith
Hello friend,
You may have found me by chance. You may have stumbled upon my work, hoping to find a word of encouragement. Thank you for coming into my world; you are valued and seen. I hope you find the power of hope here.
My story is complex and varied. I have long dreamt of being an author as a child, writing short stories derived from dreams. In school, I strived to excell in my English classes. I found writing to be my escape from times of trouble, and a source of inspiration. It wouldn’t be until decades later when I finally realized that writing was my strength, but could be a light of hope to others. I want to instill strength to face challenges in my readers; to offer hope and the belief in yourself to become resilient in the face of opposition.
Have you felt alone? Like your voice doesn’t matter? I see you. I have survived traumatic events in childhood. I struggled to find stability in my young adult life. I have even endured the jarring and seeming impossible circumstances of PPROM and seeing my son fight for survival in the NICU and beyond. If you have ever felt like nobody understands you and your journey, I hope you will stay a while with me, because I want to be a companion you trust, and share my stories of hope and resilience with you.
