About the Author

Most proudly, a wife and mother. Candace enjoys spending as much time with her family as possible. Growing up as a preacher’s daughter was not always fun, but it provided her with a solid foundation and strong faith in God that has carried her through the many obstacles that many of us face in life... from molestation, single-motherhood, divorce, abuse, extensive medical issues, the list goes on. Candace has a passion for women of all ages; teaching women’s bible studies and mentoring teenage girls, helping to build their confidence, enable them to handle peer pressure, and learn how to care for themselves.

As a singer, Candace is known for being a true worshipper, transparent concerning the many ways God has shown his love, grace, and mercy on her undeservingly. Through it all, she never lost her faith in God. She continues to minister the message of God’s grace and restorative power, proclaiming one of her favorite scriptures which says, “Perhaps this is the moment for which you have been created.” Esther 4:14
