to demonstrate that our worst past, surrendered to God, becomes our best
future. Her books are inspired by her many years as a social worker, why her

relate to her non-fiction as well.<o:p></o:p></div>

been as a women’s retreat speaker, member of her church’s speaking team, radio

passion is loving people, that should be her passion too. Katie lives a chaotic
life in Michigan with her husband and two sons. It’s a life she wouldn’t trade

have to? When you lower your standard of living, it creates a cushion of extra
money. Depending on your income, this can be a huge cushion. Everywhere you
look, people are eating, wearing, and driving their money away. They are
throwing away their influence and ability to make the world better. It’s often
not intentional; it's just the way folks have been raised. Being frugal helps
save for the future or help a friend in need. <o:p></o:p></div>

McClain's always been a storyteller. As a child, she composed plays and
forced her friends to act. She'd help rally the neighborhood kids and together
they'd re-enact their favorite TV shows. Sadly, when the boys played, she never
got to be the heroine--just the damsel in distress. Since then she's discovered
the benefits of needing rescue, and so it's a role she prefers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
McClain lived most her her
life in rural, upstate New York where taught high school English for more than
thirty years. After years of teaching students how to write, she turned her
attention to her own novels.<o:p></o:p></div>

She has three books. <i>DWF: Divorced White Female</i> and <i>Waters of Separation</i>, both were Grace

putting my heart to paper and letting it peek into the open air once again.
These years have been good and sweet and tragic and broken all at the same
time. I lost one of my dearest friends and one of my greatest champions very
suddenly and far too soon, my momma. The painful end to my label career gave my
spirit much needed space to breathe and time to re-collect my heart and
passions. The hiatus of one career marked the beginning of a new one in
motherhood. It is special and dear and my heart will never be the same...in the
most wonderful way. <o:p></o:p></div>

voice has been heard in multiple mediums: TV shows, film, and at Christmas

Her husband Josh has stood by

years, holding various roles at record labels and artist management companies.
However, it wasn't until Lanaé's most recent, self-titled, EP that the two of
them had a chance to work together.
Lanaé's new song, "I Still Do" gives a glimpse into their
relationship and why working together on this new EP is their best season
together yet. Living in Tennessee with their two children, the two of them will
be celebrating their 10-year wedding anniversary next year.<o:p></o:p></div>
