BIO:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nKelly Fordyce Martindale, the epitome of a survivor, continues to rise above adversity. Even<\/p>\n\n\n\n
before the deaths of two of her four children, she experienced rape, domestic violence and<\/p>\n\n\n\n
divorce, to name a few situations. Kelly chooses to accept her difficult life experiences and view<\/p>\n\n\n\n
them as privileges from God. \u201cI came to realize that God trusts me and knows that I will always<\/p>\n\n\n\n
love Him, no matter what.\u201d She writes on God\u2019s power to help others heal and grow from their<\/p>\n\n\n\n
brokenness. She supports parents in their singleness, grief, and other struggles. Martindale lives<\/p>\n\n\n\n
in Colorado with her husband of 32 years. She enjoys spending time with their adult children and<\/p>\n\n\n\n
grandchildren, motorcycling, reading, and writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
