Avonley Lightstone is a survivor and storyteller with a purpose, whose journey began with unimaginable trauma when, at just 3 years old, she tried to save her mother from a house fire. Her mother did not survive and her father, overcome with addiction, gave Avonley up for adoption. What followed was years of emotional, physical, and mental abuse where Love was conditional, if it ever consisted at all.
She is the author of the book titled “Strength of Scars,” where she shares how she transformed from a voiceless victim into a resilient, faith driven woman who empowers others to rise from their own scars while opening the door for real conversations around trauma, identity, forgiveness, and God’s grace.
Avonley shares her powerful and impactful story with honest Clarity, grace, compassion, forgiveness, and understanding as she takes the listeners from the day of the fire, going through the process of transition from an orphanage to her adoptive home and Family, with a narcissistic adoptive parent, who was less than supportive. She shares a positive message of the power of forgiveness, and the strength of healing in spite of our scars, through the Grace of God.
