About the Author

Christine A Cornell

Christine Ann Cornell is a writer who stitches hope into the frayed edges of human struggle. With a degree in English and a decade as a librarian, she’s spent years wandering the quiet aisles of stories, both on shelves and in the hearts of those who’ve weathered life’s storms. Her own experiences with underemployment and disability taught her that resilience is a quiet flame, a theme that burns through her work.

When she isn’t writing, Christine can be found mentoring aspiring authors, volunteering at her local church, or hiking trails where the rustle of leaves drowns out the noise of modern life. Her faith anchors her work, but it’s her fascination with flawed characters and forgotten histories that gives her stories their grit. She believes the best tales aren’t about heroes, but about ordinary people who dare to whisper, “What if?”

To Christine, storytelling is sacred rebellion. Ink becomes a lifeline, and every page a chance to prove that even shattered pieces can reflect light.
