Meghan Newkirk is a North Carolina native who graduated from North Carolina State University with a degree in Communication. She was diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder while in college and has learned how to combat it with counseling and medication. As a young child Meghan enjoyed writing short stories and imagining make believe tales for her dolls. Her first book came after feeling called to communicate her experiences with OCD to her children in a way that would be encouraging, but entertaining. She wants to communicate her need for Jesus and how He used her mental difficulties as a way to bring her to Himself. Meghan feels called to write fictional stories about characters who suffer from mental struggles, but who also find their ultimate hope in Christ while using the tools of the mental health professionals He provides. Loving Naomi is her first full manuscript.
