Allison and her husband live in Central California, surrounded by farmland and fruit orchards. She spends her days puttering around her garden, sharing tea and conversation with friends, and pursuing the dream God placed on her heart decades ago: helping women understand their true value. Although a self-proclaimed introvert, Allison loves to encourage, mentor, and support women. She used her passion for art and writing to create BeLOVED, a blog site that encourages women to discover their worth in Jesus. Allison is the author of Obi the Brave Little Lizard, a children's book about courage, and When Your Past Abuse Still Hurts, one of the Smart Living in Small Bites book series guidebooks.
