“If you’ve lived to tell the tale, you should tell it.”

—Kelsey J. Harris

Stories come and go. But every once in a while, one stops us in our tracks. A story comes along that makes us want to do more than just survive. A story that stirs something deeper-calling us to stand, act, and become part of something bigger than ourselves.

That call to action is what Kelsey J. Harris hopes to spark with her memoir, Touching Fire.

This isn’t just a story of addiction, loss, and redemption-it’s an invitation. A mirror for the parts of your own life that might need healing. A rallying cry to become part of the solution for someone else.

Maybe it’s finally writing your own testimony.
Maybe it’s talking to the man with the cardboard sign that you pass by each week.
Maybe it’s calling the friend or family member still caught in the flames of a hard life.

Whatever it looks like for you, this story will challenge you and leave you inspired to do more.
