Readers first met Kandy in Alisha Love-Knox's debut book, The Locker Series: A Journey to Healing. What began as one unforgettable chapter has now blossomed into its own deeply personal story of survival, identity, addiction, and the preserving grace of God.
What if the very thing you believed was giving you life... was quietly stealing it away?
Kandy wasn't looking for addiction.
She was looking for love.
For acceptance.
For identity.
For someone to choose her.
What began as a search for belonging slowly became a thirteen-year battle with heroin, broken relationships, domestic violence, self-sabotage, and the painful belief that she wasn't worthy of anything more.
Yet even in the darkest moments...
When shame spoke louder than hope...
When poor choices became routine...
When she could no longer recognize the woman staring back at her in the mirror...
God never stopped preserving what He planted inside of her.
Rooted in lived experiences, Preserved Fruits (Part One) is a transparent, emotionally gripping novel that invites readers beyond addiction and into the deeper battle for identity, self worth, healing and redemption.
Through Kandy's story, readers will witness the devastating effects of trauma, the hidden cycles of abuse, the complexities of motherhood, and the relentless grace of a God who refuses to abandon His children.
This is not simply a story about addiction.
It is a story about survival.
About identity.
About redemption.
About discovering that even when life feels buried beneath pain, God is still growing something beautiful underneath the surface.
Just as the Fruit of the Spirit develops over time (Galatians 5:22-23), God's work in our lives is often slow, intentional, and unseen.
Fruit takes time to grow.
And what God preserves...
He still intends to use.
If you have ever struggled with...
- Identity
- Childhood trauma
- Domestic violence
- Addiction
- Self-sabotage
- Shame
- Broken relationships
- Motherhood
- Depression
- Spiritual warfare
- Learning to trust God again
...this story will remind you that your past does not disqualify you from God's purpose.
If The Locker Series: A Journey to Healing touched your heart, Kandy's story continues here.
Because the greatest testimonies are often born from the deepest wounds.
God is still preserving what He planted inside of you.
