About the author

Long miles. Deep faith. Real words.

LaRedeaux is a professional truck driver of more than 20 years, an author, a speaker, and a woman still learning what it means to walk with God in the middle of the grind.

Portrait of LaRedeaux

"Grace found me — and it keeps finding me."

LaRedeaux writes from experience — the kind of experience earned in truck stops, in church pews, in hospital waiting rooms, and in the sacred quiet of an early-morning devotional. For over two decades she has driven the long roads of America, and every mile has become part of her story.

As an author, LaRedeaux has published books that span memoir, fiction, devotionals, and reflective journals. Her voice is honest, tender, and unafraid to name the hard things — because she believes that is exactly where grace shows up.

Today, LaRedeaux is also embracing a new chapter as a medical coding student — proof that seasons still turn, that new beginnings are for grown women too, and that God is never finished writing our stories.

Her mission is simple: to help women, faith-based readers, book lovers, and fellow travelers keep moving forward with courage, dignity, and grace.
