Whitney Lyn Allen

A tragic curveball. Her world changed forever. Would she fight her way out of despair?

October 2021. Whitney Lyn Allen’s happiness came screeching to a standstill.

And as she shares how she brought light out of darkness, readers will be touched and inspired to always believe in a better tomorrow.
