April Love is an author, public speaker, and artist. Her focus is either sexual abuse/rape or autism/disability issues. April is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and also a survivor of kidnapping and rape at the age of 19. After the kidnapping, large portions of her seemed to die inside, including her writing and her art. The writing was the first to return, and she has two published books. “Secrets of a City Bench” is Christian fiction dealing with the realities of surviving abuse and rape. “Gift of the Morning” is Christian fantasy/allegory and explores what it is like for her being autistic and living in two worlds at the same time. April’s art took much longer to return. She started oil painting at age 12 and is basically self-taught; however, she stopped painting altogether after the kidnapping until approximately the past ten years, where she has had to relearn everything and rediscover her voice. April is also available for speaking events, sharing her life’s story to help others. April is aided by her service dog, Gracie.
