Keisha Patrick is an author, speaker, wife, mother, and encourager whose work explores faith, family, love, grief, healing, and the courage to begin again when life changes unexpectedly.
Her writing was shaped by her own journey through profound love, heartbreaking loss, caregiving, illness, and unwavering faith. Through the loss of her parents, her husband Bernard’s life-threatening illness, and the loss of their daughter, Ella Gloria Jean, Keisha discovered that a “new normal” is not the end of our story—it can be the place where a new chapter begins.
Keisha is the creator of The Life We Didn’t Expect Collection, which includes A Love That Survived, Our New Normal, and Hello Ella Gloria Jean. She is also the author of The God We Often Fail to Recognize and the When Love Finds Its Way contemporary Christian fiction series, where she writes about Black families navigating love, identity, family secrets, healing, and second chances.
Through memoir, faith-based nonfiction, Christian fiction, and speaking, Keisha creates stories and conversations that help people feel seen, encouraged, and less alone. Her message is honest and deeply personal: moving forward does not mean forgetting what we have lost. It means learning to carry love, grief, faith, and hope while continuing to live with purpose.
Keisha lives in Georgia with her husband, Bernard, and their beloved dogs, Bugsy and Hercules.
