With roots as a journalist for a faith-based news publication two decades ago, Jessica has always had a passion for fiction that truly transforms.

Enjoy listening to Jessica’s redemptive God story! 

After a stint as a journalist for a faith-based news publication, Jessica Stone eventually pursued her true love of fiction. She believes that her testimony and message come most clearly through storytelling, and she loves the process of developing deep—and deeply flawed—characters who find redemption and learn to accept grace, just as she is herself.

Jessica and her husband reside in Raleigh, North Carolina, near her parents and other family. Her mother/daughter-centric stories—and her confidence to write them—are inspired by her own Gilmore Girls-esque relationship with her daughter, who is living out her dreams as a fashion designer in Paris.
