“Written with courage almost beyond comprehension.” —Patria Diehl Rector, The Broken & Beautiful

In With You Now, Kandace guides us through her stories and into an exploration of healing emotional pain resulting from complex childhood trauma. Our unconscious beliefs as children do not just fade chronologically as we grow older.

At the tender age of six years old, Kandace was named dangerous by an adult in her life. That belief was shattered at fifty years old and in the presence of women who persuaded her that she was not too much and that her "dangerous,” beautiful self was her ability to confront injustice with clarity, compassion, and a call to change.

Kandace concludes her memoir with a pathway on how we heal childhood trauma, along with how we bring repair to struggling relationships with our adult children. Her guidance in these turbulent spaces comes with tender compassion for the ways unhealed past wounds affect our parenting and what we can now do about it.
