Why I write YA and the BFA series

 I believe a teenager still exists inside each of us.

We hear a familiar tune from our “glory days” and are instantly tapping our toes. Mentally, we’re back in high school —poofy bangs, scrunchie, neon off-the-shoulder sweatshirt — and all. Oh, wait. That’s me back in the ‘80s!

Ah, yes. There is something wonderfully awful about those coming-of-age years.

From the first kiss to the first breakup, there are memories we cherish and some we don’t care to ever revisit. Being a teen can be exciting, confusing, painful, joyous, or even all of those things at once!


No matter how different your teenage experience was from mine, one thing is true for us all: these years have an enormous impact on who we become as adults. We can all sympathize with the plight of puberty and the longing for independence and acceptance. Yeah, there’s still a teenager in all of us!

These are the reasons I write YA.


My hope is to use the power of storytelling to move past barriers and open hearts to accept how much God loves and desires a personal relationship with us.

At every age, we all need the grace and love of Jesus.

In the Beauties from Ashes (BFA) series, I write about relatable characters with difficult issues and traumatic pasts to enlighten readers about the unseen spiritual battle referred to in Scripture. Each character has a secret that has left them vulnerable to the battle in an invisible realm where demonic creatures fight to keep them chained to their pasts and angels of light work to free them.

The characters and their issues are complex, just like real life. In fact, some of the topics are often considered too taboo to talk about openly. But what is left in the dark, festers and grows. It is only in the light that we can be free. In the BFA series, readers experience the character’s quest for truth, love, grace, and freedom while hopefully finding the same for themselves.

My Review

Daybreak is my first introduction to Beckie Lindsey’s writing. It definitely will not be the last. I enjoyed this third installment from her series, Beauties from Ashes. Even though it is part of a series, I felt that it can read as a stand alone. It is one of those books that toys with my emotions. It was so heart wrenching at times, that I had to keep the tissues close by. I loved the spiritual aspect of the story. It tackles a lot of issues that a lot of readers can relate to.

I am giving Daybreak a very well deserved five plus stars. I would love to read the prior books from the Beauties from Ashes series to see what had happened previously. I highly recommend this book for readers who are looking for a faith filled story, especially for those who are experiencing hardships in their lives and need inspiration.

I received this book from the publisher. This review is100% my own honest opinion.
