Welcome

I spent 40 years learning to be afraid. Then, at 3:30 in the morning in a Jerusalem hotel room, something changed. I write about that night, and everything that led to it — because I believe your story isn’t finished yet either.

You can find it on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

About Me

I’m Kristy Sullivan. I live in the Nashville, Tennessee area with my husband Dewayne, two grown children, and three grandchildren who have rearranged everything in the best possible way.
