Reviews

“Kelsey's story reads like the sound of glass shattering against the wall. It's hard to imagine the impact of so many dehumanizing experiences. Broken pieces everywhere. See grace gather them up, binding her wounds through unexpected encounters with a love so great, no darkness could hide it.”

Brock Stamps. Campus Pastor at Life. Family Church

“In Folly, Kelsey is taking it a step further. We applaud her for having the courage to embrace Jesus and to tell her story, which we pray will serve as a beacon for the countless thousands who are trying to find their way to a better life.”

“THE INSPIRATIONAL THEME OF THE BOOK EMPHASIZES THAT DESPITE THE PAIN CAUSED BY THE HARMFUL ACTIONS OF SELF-SERVING INDIVIDUALS, THE FAITH OF OTHERS CAN HELP ONE ACCEPT GOD’S GRACE AND ACHIEVE A RENEWED, FREE, AND ABUNDANT LIFE.”

-JOHN E. GAMBLE, PH.D.

PROFESSOR OF MANAGEMENT, FORMER BUSINESS SCHOOL DEAN, AND BEST-SELLING AUTHOR

“This book is beautifully crafted, and flawlessly describes the complex and unsettling nature of trauma and its ability to subconsciously implant itself throughout and within our lives.”

What Readers are Saying…

  • "Riveting, down to earth. Made it hard to put down. I wanted to know what happened next. I appreciate how it was written in a way as to not hide the truth but to not give so much detail as to make it an uncomfortable read. Everything was explained in a tactful manner that left me feeling like I was listening to a friend and able to fully understand what was happening. I laughed, got angry, shed some tears. And at the end, my heart was full of hope and thankfulness for another sister finding her way home. Thank you Kelsey."

    Goodreads Reader

  • "Few books about a fall and redemption are as powerful and as honest as Daniels' book. It's raw, unapologetic, and hard to put down."

    Goodreads Reader

  • "Folly is both a fascinating look at how and why women enter the sex industry, as well as a heartbreaking story of the lies many women believe about themselves and their worth. The majority of the story focuses on how early experiences shaped and skewed the author's perception of herself, how that led her to the sex trade, and how she ended up in bondage"

“The way she narrates her story is engaging and gripping…

This is my first time ingesting a novel by binging it in two sittings. I will be listening to it again because, at points, I found myself drifting off into memories of my own life’s abuse. Because of how good a writer and narrator Kelsey is, I felt safe with her journey to explore my own at points, but now I would like to listen again.”

Audible Listener

I listened to this in less than 24 hours…

Kelsey’s story is captivating and her voice is amazing for audible. I am so glad she’s reading her own story here. I really think any reader/listener can find something to relate to here and her story of finding God and finding herself is incredible. Kelsey’s ability to tell a story is amazing, the way she described places and events clearly painted the picture in my mind. She is truly a talent! I hope kelsey continues to write as I am a fan for life now.”
