Autorenporträt
Alice Faye Duncan is the author of several award-winning books including Memphis, Martin, and the Mountaintop; Evicted!; and Yellow Dog Blues. After many years writing to uplift young people with hope, Alice now brings clarity of thought, moving metaphors, and engaging lyricism to adult readers. In her devotional, she invites them to worship God and love people with acts of generosity that build a bridge to peace, joy, and abundance. Each passage offers wisdom drawn from Scripture and the lives of remarkable historical figures, pointing the way toward courage, faith, and light. Raised by parents who were both schoolteachers and devoted Bible readers, Alice inherited a passion for learning and a love for God's Word. Her parents also gave her a deep appreciation for sacred music--hymns, spirituals, and gospel songs. Alice was born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee, a city where every street corner hums with music. Memphis remains her home, and the city's history, people, and sounds are three constants that inspire her words. Alice likes to say, "God is my Creator. But I am Memphis-made."
