Jamaican Author Kimberly Morgan inspires with new book ‘You Are Not Alone’
Jamaican author Kimberly Morgan is hopeful that her book ‘You Are Not Alone’ will continue to inspire readers.
The author, who resides in Canada, said the faith-based book is geared towards getting her readers to step away from doubt and worry in the face of uncertainty.
“Many times when persons are going through low periods, it actually allows them to settle in that state. So, the book is actually to get them to get out of that mindset of doubt, worry, and fear and [remind] them that regardless of what’s coming to them, they can still be successful. It’s a faith-based book, so it’s not solely for those who are Christians, but also for non-believers and how they can lift their work in their journey,” Morgan told Observer Online.
She hosted an official launch of the book in Jamaica on January 5 at Fellowship Tabernacle in Kingston.
The book was published by DayeLight Publishers.
Kimberly Morgan’s first published book titled ‘You Are Not Alone’
Morgan discovered her passion for writing when she wrote meditation pieces, which were read during some of the Sunday morning services at her church in Jamaica. Since 2017, she has also been a member of the Laud Dance Ministry and her passion and craft of dancing were enhanced under the leadership of Nickeisha Jones, founder and director of the dance school.
In 2018, the Convent of Mercy Academy alumna went to Canada to pursue higher education and subsequently graduated from Durham College in 2020. She has since been enrolled at the Canada Christian College to pursue studies in Theology and Christian counselling.
Noting that the book—which is her first published work—took six months to complete, Morgan said she tried her hand at writing during the free time which stemmed from the coronavirus lockdown.
“I had just completed my studies in Canada and the only thing that was left for me to do was walk to the park and I love writing, so, I used the opportunity to pen how I was feeling… in my time of loneliness, I decided to put pen to paper so that’s actually how it all started,” she explained.
Morgan has also gotten the opportunity to touch the lives of those around her through her current employment as a Shelter Supervisor at the Doors of Compassion—a 50-bed co-ed emergency housing focus shelter in Ajax, Canada.
