As a child, Kelly had a passion for writing and was encouraged by her father to pursue it. Twenty-five years later, she was instead a homeless prostitute trapped in the dark underworld of the streets of Salt Lake City. Near-death and in the throes of heroin and meth addiction, she experienced a heavenly visit that changed everything.

She’s been writing about the hope of addiction recovery through the Atonement of Jesus Christ ever since. Her many years of personal struggle with mental illness and drug addiction have enabled her to write about and give unique insight into the mysterious inner workings of an addict’s mind.

Kelly is an author, a public speaker, and a social media influencer who is dedicated to sharing the real hope available with those who continue to suffer.

About Between Monsters & Mercy:

The terror begins for Kelly at the age of seven when “The Whisperer” appears out of nowhere destroying her happy childhood.  What follows is a desperate thirty-year quest to quiet the sadistic monster in her head. For decades, her loved ones watch helplessly as drug addiction, alcoholism, destructive behavior, and mental illness tear her life apart.  Eventually, Kelly finds herself a homeless prostitute living in the dark underworld of Salt Lake City. Near-death and out of time, she receives a Heavenly message in a dingy motel room that changes everything. Cry for her, laugh with her, find hope and healing for yourself or a loved one as you share Kelly’s journey from monsters to mercy.
