The concept for this album came to me after a personal experience of losing my 15 year old nephew to suicide.  As I tried to process this deep grief and loss, one of the places I turned was songwriting and music. Through my faith and a transition from heartbreak to hope, I was inspired to write the songs for this album.

This record release is bigger than me and my music. In my efforts to spread hope, I have chosen to give portions of proceeds from this albums release toward The Barb Smith Suicide Resource and Response Network.  

I chose this network because their mission statement is to prevent suicide through education, connection to resources, and to give support for those impacted by suicide. This network has been caring for my community and beyond at the local, state and national level for the past 32 years.  They believe that mental health is just as important as physical health.
