A VOICE OF REASON
DALLAS — To her credit, LaQuinta L. Layton commemorated the second anniversary of becoming a first-time published author in remarkably extradionary fashion.
The Dallas/Fort Worth faith-based writer recently announced she has launched an audio version of EMERGENCE: From Grief To Glory, a spinoff of her highly-anticipated book that made its official debut in July 2021.
As part of Making Headline News’ advance coverage of Sarah Jakes Roberts’ inaugural Woman Evolve Conference September 14-16 from Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, Layton spoke at length about the public’s reaction to an EMERGENCE: From Grief To Glory written work that has been as good as advertised, a trend that fueled her desire to spearhead an audiobook that bears the same title.
“(Many people are) excited,” Layton, during an interview this week with MHN, said of her latest authorship milestone. “Many of EMERGENCE: From Grief To Glory supporters urged me to develop the audiobook. It’s where it was birthed. It took time and grit…but the outcome of the people it will heal makes it worth it.”

Officially released on July 26, 2021, Layton’s EMERGENCE: From Grief To Glory is a riveting, mesmerizing, spiritually gut-checking masterpiece that is accompanied by 126 pages. Generally, this book is broken up into what Layton suitably labels three of life’s crucial, yet life-altering phases, according to a detailed synopsis of this writer’s book at Amazon.com.
Among the notable phases:
- EMERGENCE which, according to Layton, is defined as the process of coming into view or becoming exposed to something after it being concealed. It is also defined, she eloquently writes, as the process of coming into being, or of becoming important or prominent after being in a place of obscurity.
- GRIEF which, according to Layton, is an emotion that all seem to experience at some point in life. In a nutshell, this gifted author acknowledges, whether rich or poor, great, or seemingly insignificant, grief has a way of humbling us. No matter how strong, no matter how courageous, some way or another, when we are met with grief through death, we find ourselves searching for answers and,
- GLORY which, according to Layton, is defined as high renown or honor experience through triumphs. Moreover, this phase also is defined as what Layton vividly describes as the “magnificence reflection of beauty of God’s image,” a phase that’s shone through us and, most importantly, a chapter that impacts others in the process.
“Hard copy book sales are steady as new opportunities are arising,” said Layton, the architect of Grief Conversations, a Facebook-based platform where she facilitates what she describes as “pertinent elements of grief” and offer support to those in their grief journey.

A book that has given way to other empowerment opportunities — most notably appearing at a women’s conference in Flint, Michigan and witnessing a “growing interest in the topic of grief” via https://www.emergencefromgrief.com/ — Layton said her sophomore written work is forthcoming, although a timetable for its release has yet to be announced.
“(There is) another book that is in the beginning stages of writing,” Layton told MHN. “I’m excited to release more about it soon. But I want to give my first baby, EMERGENCE: From Grief To Glory, the time and attention it deserves.”
And rightfully so, especially now that the hardcopy version has some distinctly unique company — the ceremonious emergence of an audiobook.
“Nothing gives voice to a story quite like the author,” Layton said. “I believe this audiobook will breathe the authenticity in which I wrote of the pain and triumph I experienced, and hopefully resonates with the readers or — my grief journey friends as I call them — that it’s not only possible for them, it’s God’s will for them on the other side of grief.”
