BEAUTY FOR ASHES: Arizona faith leader Prophetess Leah M. Kelley’s newly-released memoir is a massive must-read
Andre Johnson 
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. (Romans 8:18/NIV)
SURVIVING THE WILDERNESS
Fortunately for Prophetess Leah M. Kelley, she had ultimately come to a realization that her life-altering testimony wasn’t solely about her.
“It was about breaking chains for others,” Prophetess Kelley, during an interview this week with Making Headline News, said, recalling the rash of developments surrounding her featured book. “(God) told me it was time to pour my journey of pain, survival, and victory into words that could heal hearts and set captives free.”
And so it ultimately came to pass, the highly-anticipated release of A Pretty Wreck: From Trauma To Triumph, Prophetess Kelley’s newly-released memoir that, much to her delight, has created a fervent buzz across various message boards and social media platforms.
Having made its ceremonious debut in September 2025, Prophetess Kelley’s A Pretty Wreck: From Trauma To Triumph comes amid what this Tucson, Arizona faith-based author describes as an awe-inspiring vision approximately a year ago.

“God gave me the vision years ago, but He fully released me to put pen to paper when I realized that my story wasn’t just about me,” Prophetess Kelley told MHN. “I chose to write this book to give voice to the voiceless. Too many people carry shame, rejection, and trauma silently. God showed me that if I exposed the wreckage of my life, He would reveal the beauty of His triumph through me. This book is my testimony, and it’s designed to give others permission to heal and to hope.”
A riveting, spiritually-empowering, masterpiece-of-a-read that is accompanied by 166 pages, Prophetess Kelley’s A Pretty Wreck: From Trauma To Triumph vividly enlightens her reading audience that she should not have survived, according to a thorough synopsis of this writer’s featured book via Amazon.com.
“Conceived in trauma and raised in a home shadowed by secrets, she grew up navigating abuse, abandonment, betrayal, and heartbreak,” said an Amazon spokesperson for Prophetess Kelley’s A Pretty Wreck: From Trauma To Triumph. “Yet every wound became a testament, every trial a lesson, and every scar a sign that God was not finished with her story.”

By all accounts, Prophetess Kelley’s A Pretty Wreck is widely regarded as a raw and unflinching memoir of survival, faith, and resilience.
“From the projects of Stamford (Connecticut) to the storms of generational pain, Leah invites readers into the broken places of her past — not to dwell in pity, but to reveal the power of deliverance and the beauty of becoming whole,” said an Amazon spokesperson for Prophetess Kelley’s memoir. “With honesty and unshakable hope, she declares what it means to be a pretty wreck: broken but beautiful, damaged but delivered, wounded but walking in victory. For anyone who has ever felt crushed beneath life’s weight, this story is proof that you are not alone — and that your ending can be one of triumph.”
THE PSALM 139:14 FACTOR
As Prophetess Kelley recall, it was sometime in 2024 that she began the legwork on her memoir, needing a little more than a year to complete a written work that is as good as advertised.
For her valiant efforts, she has become the beneficiary of an assortment of rave reviews.
“The feedback has been humbling and powerful,” Prophetess Kelley said. “Readers have reached out to tell me that my story gave them courage to face their own hidden wounds. Many have said they finally feel seen and understood. The book has sparked healing conversations in families, churches, and communities.”
When asked what divine message she’s aiming to send to her audience through her latest book, Prophetess Kelley said:
“The divine message is that no matter how broken, rejected, or abandoned you feel, God can rewrite your story. Trauma does not disqualify you from triumph. Your scars are not signs of defeat, but evidence of survival and testimony to God’s power to restore and elevate.”
To her credit, Prophetess Kelley has graced the pages of six books to date, including three solo-authored projects. Additional books, she said, are on the horizon.
“My next book is titled, I Forgive Me,” Prophetess Kelley told MHN. “This project will be co-written with my dear friend, Larry Slack, who is both an actor and now a first-time author. Together, we are bringing a powerful message of release, healing, and forgiveness.”
BREAK EVERY CHAIN
While Prophetess Kelley is in the infancy stages of promoting her featured book, she said plans are in the works to shed light on her memoir in various churches, conferences, and women’s empowerment establishments.
“I’m open to invitations and opportunities to speak about the message of A Pretty Wreck: From Trauma To Triumph.” Prophetess Kelley said. “My prayer is that every person who reads A Pretty Wreck will see themselves in its pages and realize that no matter the trauma, there is triumph waiting on the other side. God wastes nothing. Your pain will birth purpose.”
In Jesus’ Name.
