About the Author

Marilyn Overly grew up in the quiet countryside of Livonia, Michigan, when the main businesses there were the corner grocery store, bakery, drug store, and bar. As she grew up, she saw her hometown virtually boom into a thriving community. Her wholesome family life laid the groundwork for her unrelenting personality that gave her the courage and tenacity to face life’s storms. During her teen years she struggled as most teens do, dealing with her peers, her family, and closest friends. That stage between child and adulthood has been a herculean task for all generations. At this time in her life, she unwittingly took a friendly challenge one night that changed her life forever. God used this horrendously tragic auto accident as a turning point in her life completely erasing any pride or arrogance she might have had. Through it she was snatched from Satan’s grip and from hell by the grace of God. Awakening to full paralysis from her chest down and cringing from her doctor’s stinging words, You’ll never walk again!, she resolved to discover why God had spared her life. Through it all she has risen above adversity to successfully become a qualified teacher, coach, artist, loving mother, and wife. Overly has shared insight from the many experiences throughout her life where God has shown repeatedly, that His unlimited grace and love are available to any and all who will ask.
