ⓘ About Kimberly Grist
Kimberly Grist is an inspirational author from Georgia that is best known for the “Carrie Town Texas” series of novels. The author is married to Pastor Nelson Grist her high school sweetheart who pastors a church in Forsyth, Georgia. Grist loves to call herself the mother of three special kids and there is no one she loves better than her family. Since Kim Grist never grew up in church, she asserts that some of her perspectives may be different than those of other people.

Kim published “Rebecca’s Hope,” her debut inspirational novel in 2018, and has never looked back since.
