DEBORAH RUTHERFORD
debut author & poet
Deborah’s debut poetry collection, Prodigal Daughter: Poems of Light for the Lost Ones, is a tenderly written love letter of hope for all the wayward daughters of God. Part memoir, part devotional, Deborah’s poetry goes boldly into the darkest parts of the human soul and comes out singing the most beautiful song of all: the one we call “Redemption.”
