Gabby’s Journal plunges readers into a powerful prequel to the Children of Light series, where faith, survival, and discovery ignite on every page. Left alone in a world that transformed overnight, Gabby finds solace in her mother’s journals. However, an untouched journal—once intended as a family heirloom--becomes her lifeline. As she pens her first entry, her words launch her on a six-decade journey of harrowing events, unyielding hope, and spiritual exploration.

What begins as desperate record-keeping evolves into a testament of enduring faith and eternal hope. Over sixty years, Gabby chronicles losses and triumphs, heartbreak and refuge, each moment a stepping stone toward a deeper understanding of God’s unfolding plan. She wrestles with grief, questions prophecy, and uncovers truths and strength hidden beneath layers of sorrow.

Through her journal, Gabby finds arms that hold her in loneliness, a guiding light in confusion, and ultimately, a pathway to forgiveness and renewal. Her final entry isn’t just an ending—it’s the culmination of a life shaped by divine orchestration and human resilience.

Jana Smith weaves a transcendent tale of spiritual awakening and emotional maturity, bridging the present-day crisis with the sweeping backdrop of end-times revelation. Packed with emotional stakes and timeless wisdom, Gabby’s Journal is an intimate pilgrimage through darkness into light.
