Choosing to Live, Love, and Laugh Again
When He Leaves
Encouragement that will be like fresh water to a thirsty soul ...
Barbara Johnson, author

Kari West & Noelle Quinn


He promised, as you did, "till death do us part."
You did not want the marriage to end; now you are hurting, angry.
You wonder, "Will I ever love or laugh again?"

You are not alone. Kari West and Noelle Quinn have both gone through unwanted divorces. They emerged from the pain, and with God, created new lives for themselves and their families.

When He Leaves is warm and transparent, offering a woman-to-woman feel for kindred souls abandoned within a Christian marriage. Raw emotion blends with weathered perspective to fuel hope. The authors challenge you, in the journey through divorce, to risk turning every scary corner. You, too, can find the courage to take steps back into life, love, and laughter.

Kari West is a writer and speaker living on a sun-splashed hilltop in California. She is remarried and the mother of a grown daughter. Kari enjoys her "English" country garden and likes to scuba dive.

Noelle Quinn is an editor and book developer living among ponderosa pines in Oregon. The mother of three teenage daughters, Noelle likes to hike, camp, and play on the beach.

Both authors have chosen to write under pen names.
