Bozarth, Alisha: - Alisha had served in various ministry capacities for twenty years, when she was thrown into widowhood at age thirty-three. She fought the battle of grieving well, learning deep lessons of life, faith, and suffering. Bringing grief, tragedy, and the fight for hope into writing, both fiction and nonfiction, became her calling. She blogs on her website, alishabozarth.com, where she delves into the tough subjects of loss, the struggle of faith, and digging for hope. Four blogs have been featured in national grief newsletters, with others listed on online resource sites. Her blog Widowhood is More Than... has gone viral with thousands of views and shares.Alisha resides in Bakersfield, California, where she homeschools her two high school daughters, and upkeeps her two acres (but not very well! It's a lot of work!) and writes to illustrate that Hope Grows in the Wilderness. A lover of coffee, chocolate and pastries, and (so she doesn't sound too fat) a lover of God, history and traveling. When she can, she travels to fulfill her bucket list of seeing all fifty states, and hopefully, eventually, other countries.
