Interview with Stephanie Miller
What was the hardest scene from your book to write?
It was an example from my personal life that I used in one of the early chapters of the book. I remember going back and adding that example in even though it was still a very personal and painful experience for me. At that time, I was only six months postpartum and struggling to reconcile what I had wanted the birth of my son to be like, compared to what it actually was like. As hard as it was for me to relive those painful memories, I knew that I needed to include it in the book.
Why did you choose to write in your particular field or genre?
I didn’t write the book with a field or genre in mind, so for me it wasn’t really a choice that I made, more of an afterthought that it ended up a Christian non-fiction book. I will say that my past experiences and formal education in psychology heavily influenced the genre of this book.
What did you enjoy most about writing this book?
Feeling inspired and being able to just write what was coming to me. The feeling of inspiration when your fingers cannot type as fast as your mind is going is my favorite feeling.
What book that you have read has most influenced your life?
Well, the bible is the book that I have read and continue to read that has influenced my life. In addition to the bible, “Wait and See” by Wendy Pope and “Uninvited” by Lysa Terkeurst are my next favorites.
Tell us a little about yourself? Perhaps something not many people know?
I used to write poetry. As a teenager, it was my way of processing my emotions. I still have some of the poems I wrote, and one was published in an anthology several years ago.
Can you tell us something about your book that is not in the summary?
Yes, on the cover of my book is a huge purple butterfly, not only is it eye-catching, but it also has significance and symbolizes what I talk about in the book. The two colors that make purple are red and blue, and red in the bible stands for the blood of Jesus that cleanses us and makes us pure, and blue in the bible traditionally stands for the Word of God. The color purple also signifies royalty in the bible so by accepting the blood (red) Jesus shed for us, and reading the bible regularly we become royalty, daughters and sons of the most High King!
