Sarah Hickner

Hickner was born and raised in Mississippi and began riding when she was eleven. At 19 she followed her dreams to gallop racehorses in Kentucky. The next 2 years became a wild ride of epic highs and (quite literal) hard falls as her world came crashing down around her. The pieces came back together to create a story worth sharing.

Sarah has been fueled to share this part of her life because she believes that strength can often be found in the broken parts of our stories. Her journey is a living testament to one of her favorite Bible verses, Romans 8:28 “ We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” Sarah wants to share this message of hope with her readers. When it feels like the sky is falling and nothing good could come of the situation GOD CAN work it for good, and He always does.

When Sarah isn’t writing or at the barn, you’ll find her cheering on her kids at one of their many activities or trying to maneuver around her tiny kitchen with her husband, Joey.
