Welcome, friend.

I’m so glad you’re here.

This little corner of the internet was born from a lifetime of chaos, courage, and grace. Under the pen name Gracie Rae Goodwin, I’m sharing my real story—one that weaves through heartbreak, healing, humor, and holy ground. You’ll find pieces of my life in every post, every page, every prayer.

Whether you’re a homeschooling mama, a survivor still standing, or a woman chasing Jesus through the mess—I see you. This space is for you.

So grab a cup of something warm, settle in, and know you’re not alone. God meets us right in the middle of the wild.

Welcome to Where the Wild Grace Grows.

Gracie Rae's Story

I write under a pen name to protect the privacy of my children and loved ones while telling the unfiltered truth of our story. Once a quiet survivor of emotional abuse, I’m now a homeschooling mom of many, a counselor by training, and a redeemed daughter of the King.

From finding a dusty rosary in a garage to converting to Islam and back to Christ, my faith journey is anything but ordinary. Yet every twist has revealed God’s steadfast love.

Location: Somewhere between sweet tea and midwestern grit.
