Meet the author

Sue Monk Kidd is the celebrated, New York Times bestselling author of beloved novels like The Secret Life of Bees and The Invention of Wings. Originally a writer of spiritual memoirs, her journey began with a deeply personal quest to find a more authentic and feminine experience of faith. This early search for a more profound sense of divine love and self-acceptance, chronicled in books like God's Joyful Surprise, laid the foundation for the powerful themes that resonate throughout her acclaimed literary career.
