Her passion to be a writer has led her to author this faith-based fictional suspense book. Born in rural Minnesota, she lived a pretty ordinary life. As she got older, she was told she was adopted. This started a wonderful journey as she pursued her biological roots. She grew up with one sister (also adopted), but now she has been blessed with an additional five half siblings. Even though this event brought much happiness into her life, it also brought much heartache as her adopted mother and sister rejected her and walked out of her life. These relationships are still strained and a constant reminder of the cruelty within the world. Kalayah feels that this has brought a different perspective and dimension to her life allowing her to have a deeper understanding of the importance that relationships play in a person’s life. She interweaves many of her life experiences throughout her writing bringing realness to her readers.Kalayah has been part of the education world for many years as she continues to educate and speak at a variety of venues as well as being a life-long learner herself.
