About the Author

Paula Whaley Griggs wrote Where Soul Meets Fire after her daughter sustained a traumatic brain injury in a car wreck in 2004. Sending out e-mails each night chronicling her daughter’s recovery, she was encouraged to write about the miracles her family experienced as her oldest child recovered and accepted God’s plans for her life. Not long after her daughter’s wreck, Paula’s mother was diagnosed with dementia, and Paula herself with breast cancer. Advocating for prevention of TBI and early diagnoses of Alzheimer’s disease and breast cancer, Paula desires for her story to be an inspiration to anyone confronting life’s challenges. She believes in being knowledgeable, proactive, and obstinate. Writing with humor and encouragement, she seeks to help others going through similar situations. In her spare time, she enjoys sewing, reading mystery and suspense novels, going to estate sales, traveling, and spending time with her family. She lives in Leeds, Alabama.
