About this space

Welcome!

I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m a writer who calls Milwaukee home, telling stories from the in-between places—where life doesn’t go according to plan, and yet somehow, grace still finds us there.

I write about the spaces where healing doesn’t happen all at once, where faith is sometimes quiet and hard-won, and where grace meets us, right in the middle of our real lives.

On my blog, you’ll find reflections, pieces of story, glimpses of the novel I’m completing, and moments gathered from ordinary days that somehow carry something more.

Much of what I write begins in quiet mornings in the Word—listening for God’s voice and gathering the courage to keep going, to keep writing. From there, it finds its way into posts and chapters, shaped by memory, imagination, and the beauty of everyday life.

I live in the house where I grew up, married to Todd—my brother’s best friend from high school, a second chance for both of us—along with our dog Fannie and cat Mary, who run the place with great authority.

It’s my hope, you will find something here that reminds you: you are deeply loved, your story matters, and God still turns our mourning into dancing.

Thank you for being here—

Deb

There’s more ahead—come along.
