About Us

Casey is a first-time children’s book author from Hanover, Virginia, who was inspired to share her family’s story of overcoming tragedy after their home was destroyed by a fire in 2023. With faith and love from her community, Casey’s family began to rebuild their lives. Casey created Above the Ashes to help readers like her own children who have experienced similar challenges know that they are not alone—and that life after a disaster can be beautiful and filled with hope. It’s a perspective all people can benefit from, and she hopes this story brings light to the world.
