April Love is an author, artist, and public speaker. She focuses on subjects which have been a part of her own life, such as sexual abuse/rape, autism, and disabilities. April is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and a survivor of kidnapping and rape at the age of 19. The trauma of the kidnapping caused her writing and art to seemingly die, but as she healed, she started to write again. Her first published book, “Secrets of a City Bench,” is Christian fiction dealing with the realities of surviving abuse and rape. Her second published book, “Gift of the Morning,” is Christian allegory/fantasy, exploring what it is like for her being autistic and living in two different worlds at the same time. April’s art took much longer to return. She started oil painting at age 12 and is self-taught. After a nearly two decade-long break, she slowly started painting again and is developing a new voice in her art. Currently April is battling a rare, incurable neuromuscular disease, but she is determined not to allow this disease to rob her of her joy of writing and painting. April also is available for speaking events, sharing her life’s story to help others.
