Sandra Lott Smith was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, and is the author of more than 46 books, including The Power of Compassion, Princess Anastasia & the Kingdom of Divulgence, Deep Waters Within, Jeremy's Journey, Ride the Wind, My Father's Eyes: Seeing Yourself Through the Father's Eyes, A Princess in Waiting, and beloved children's books such as The Sheep That Went Astray, The Wind Has a Voice, How Did He Get in There?, and Molly's Journey to Forgiveness, among others.Her life has been marked by both deep pain and powerful redemption. After enduring a difficult marriage filled with alcoholism and drug addiction, walking through the heartbreaking loss of her sixteen-year-old son, and supporting her older son through emotional struggles, she found herself drawn into the loving arms of God the Father. Through Jesus Christ, she discovered His saving grace, and through the Holy Spirit, found a constant Comforter and guide.In the midst of her brokenness, God gently held her heart, restoring what once felt beyond repair. His love brought healing, renewal, and even the blessing of a new beginning-bringing into her life a husband who cherishes her with love and honor. What He has done for her, he can do for anyone.Every book she writes flows from her testimony of God's faithfulness. Her passion is to help others encounter His overwhelming love, whether through stories that inspire, devotionals that deepen faith, or children's books that plant seeds of truth in young hearts.Today, she co-owns Your New Life Ministries with her husband, DL. Together, they serve as Christian authors, speakers, and podcast hosts, sharing messages of hope, healing, and transformation.Her greatest desire is to help others-especially women-heal from past wounds, overcome abuse, and discover who they truly are in Christ. You are not forgotten, you are not broken beyond repair-you are a daughter of the King, and there is a beautiful destiny waiting for you.
