While many choose to wallow in self-pity when life doesn’t deal them a full deck of cards, Candice Crear chose to convert her pain into a greater purpose. At the age of 2 years old her father walked out of her life. After dealing with the pain of rejection, anger and depression for many years, she decided to make a choice that would change her life forever – to heal.

Now this two-time award-winning finalist, and four-time best-selling author is committed to leading fatherless women worldwide from the road of adversity to the highway of wholeness. As she continues to conquer new ground with From Fatherless to Fearless®, she understands that by giving women the tangible tools they need to move forward, she can also challenge them to confront their true story of power and strength. Candice is determined to change the community one woman at a time.

She will share how God interrupted her life and put her in the "waiting room" to prepare her for her healing journey.
