Bonnie Overly

As a three-year-old, Bonnie was known for being able to climb up any door frame. Now she spends her energy trying to scale the mountains of raising teenagers and young children. She and her husband share four (soon to be five) awesome kids, an anxious but lovable dog, and a love of music and all things chocolate. Their adventures together have landed them in the Washington D.C. metro area, New York City, and now Woods Cross, Utah. Bonnie discovered a love for writing in second grade when she wrote a story that won a coveted golden ticket from her principal and she hasn’t stopped writing since. Though her door-climbing days are behind her, she still likes the view from up high, so she is grateful to live in a time where the words of prophets are so easily accessible and help her see the valleys of life so clearly.
