Hello
I write from the places in me that used to bleed in silence. I write what I lived , the pain, the betrayal, the trauma, the nights I smiled in public and fell apart in private. I write the parts people don’t clap for. The parts that tried to break me.
But God. 🙏🏾
Somewhere in the middle of the wreckage, God met me. Not with pretty words, but with real strength. He reminded me that my story wasn’t over, that my suffering wasn’t pointless, and that what the enemy meant for harm, He can turn for good.
“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good.” — Genesis 50:20
So I write with scars, not filters. I write with truth, not performance. I write because healing has a sound, and sometimes it sounds like a woman finally telling the whole truth. I write because my pain became a classroom, and God became the Teacher.
“Consider it pure joy… whenever you face trials… because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.” — James 1:2–3
My books carry wisdom that cost me something. Wisdom I didn’t learn from comfort, but from survival. Wisdom born from tears prayed into purpose. I write to remind someone who feels invisible that God still sees them. I write to tell the one who’s tired that they can make it. I write to declare that trauma may be part of the story, but it does not get the final word.
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.” — Psalm 34:18
This is not just writing. This is testimony. This is altar work. This is me putting my life on the page and saying: If God brought me through it, He can bring you through it too.
And that’s the raw truth. 💛
My Story
My story isn’t a fairytale, and it definitely isn’t one of shortcuts or easy answers. It’s a story marked by service, faith, loss, healing… and the kind of determination you only learn when life hits you in places you never talk about out loud.
I’m Dr. Tracy A. Allen, an author, retired U.S. Army Officer, mental health professional, and lifelong learner. A lot of who I am was shaped in uniform, through leadership and responsibility. But the deepest shaping didn’t happen under bright lights or applause. It happened in the quiet, when I had to keep showing up, keep believing, and keep breathing through what was trying to take me out.
Life taught me how to be strong.
Writing taught me how to be honest.
For a long time, my words stayed private journals full of prayers, tears, questions, and truth I wasn’t ready to speak. Those pages held my pain. My betrayal. My trauma. The parts of my story that didn’t feel “safe” to share. But God kept working on me, and one day I realized something: hiding doesn’t heal you. Truth does.
So those private pages became books, not because I had it all figured out, but because God kept reminding me that testimony isn’t only for after the storm… sometimes it’s written while you’re still walking through it.
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18
My writing spans memoir, faith-centered reflection, self-care, and children’s literature. Different genres, same foundation: faith, integrity, compassion, courage, and truth. I write for the ones in transition. For those who survived something and are now learning to live again. For the ones who look strong on the outside but are quietly tired on the inside. I write for women who have carried more than they were ever meant to, and for families teaching values to the next generation.
This website is home to that work. It’s not here to impress people. It’s here to strengthen people. It’s a space where you can explore my books, sit with truth, and breathe again. Whether you’re here as a reader, a parent, a seeker, or somebody who just stumbled in, my prayer is that you find words that meet you right where you are.
Because I believe this with my whole chest: God doesn’t waste pain. He redeems it.
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him.” — Romans 8:28
Every book I write is an offering, an invitation to pause, reflect, and remember that transformation often happens quietly, even when the road feels uncertain.
Thank you for being here. Thank you for taking the time to learn my story. And thank you for letting my testimony remind you that you’re not alone , and you’re not done. 🙏🏾✨
