Welcome to
Michelle Lee Smith's Writing

I have cherished the art of writing since childhood. My heart yearns to recapture that innocent, childlike essence where realms of fantasy seamlessly intertwine with reality on the page, transcending mere storytelling.

Within my current writing, you will discover a beautiful blend of memoir and fiction. These tales originate from the tapestry of my own life, intricately woven into narratives that take on unique variations.

I liken my writing to the captivating memoir "Glass Castle" by Jeanette Walls or the poignant "Chinese Cinderella" by Adeline Yen Mah. However, I believe my writing is infused with my faith, as C.S. Lewis' writings. The themes in my writing include perseverance and resilience; overcoming adversity; quest for healing and redemption; personal growth and transformation; family and parenthood; hope and resurgence.

At times, you may even stumble upon enchanting works crafted specifically for children, as fulfilling my dream of creating and illustrating children's literature has always been my aspiration. Perhaps one day, I will breathe life into my old poems and ditties, transforming them into a delightful picture book.

Children's books, the wonders of nature, and the profound depth of my faith in Jesus ignite a fiery passion within my soul. I invite you to embark on this writing journey alongside me.

Together, let us embrace the magic of storytelling and the transformative power of words.
