“Truth be told, my upbringing shielded me from the harsh realities of life. I dwelled in a bubble of family love, a life that provided everything we ever wanted. My mother, a paragon of nurturing, effortlessly supplied all our needs and generously fulfilled most of our whims. In my youthful naivety, I reveled in the bliss of ignorance, never bothering to care or worry about anything. The world was a playground, and I skipped through it carefree, ignorant to the difficulties of life – that is, until the formidable two-letter word, NO, punctuated my idyllic existence.” Tracye Hawthorne’s debut novel, From Darkness to Light is a revealing account of naivety, realization, struggle, and growth. The author’s courage is astounding as she pulls back the layers of her life and allows readers full access to her private world of hurt, shame, and disappointments. From Darkness to Light offers hope and a ‘hand up’ to those who get knocked down. As the founder and creator of A Moment of Reflections (a broadcast that is aired on 1240AM WGBB and 95.9FM), Tracye created the platform to promote upcoming events of the nonprofit organization GO PARTY ON DEMAND but it was quickly transformed into a space for sharing the word of God. A source of truth and transparency, Tracye Hawthorne shares daily words of affirmation, words of encouragement, and testimonies of her struggles and battles faced throughout her life to all those listening on her social media platforms and every Sunday live on GOSPEL CELEBRATION and GO PARTY ONLINE internet radio.
