Author Biography
Lisa Duffy has more than 16 years of both personal and professional experience in helping others deal with their divorces. Born and raised in Southern California, Lisa suffered through the pain of being a divorced Catholic in the early 1990s and knew that after seven years intense struggle, spiritual growth, personal triumphs, and finally remarriage in the Church and the birth of three miracle children, her one desire was to help others who were suffering find hope and healing. Lisa has worked for the Church in a variety of roles, most recently in directing the Journey of Hope program in the Archdiocese of Atlanta for the past 7 years, which she authored and upon which this book was based. Lisa has been featured on many radio programs including "Catholic Answers Live", "The Teresa Tomeo Show", Relevant Radio's "On Call with Wendy Wiese", Sirius Satellite Radio's "The Catholics Next Door" with Greg and Jennifer Willits, "Kresta in the Afternoon" with Al Kresta. She and Vince will appear on EWTN's "Living His Life Abundantly" with Johnette Benkovic this fall (dates to be announced). Lisa has given workshops for the North American Conference for Separated and Divorced Catholics (NACSDC, now Catholic Divorce Ministry CDM) national conference and a part of their speaker panel, and a weekend conference for the Diocese of Lexington, KY. She is currently the President of Journey of Hope Productions. Lisa lives in Georgia with her husband and three children.
