You. Are. Not. Alone. with Kelley Gunter

Kelly is a survivor, an emotional warrior, connoisseur of comfort food, and the author of You Have Such a Pretty Face. Her painful journey to find peace and self-worth began with a 243-pound weight loss that  included many dark moments of despair that eventually brought her to her knees. Broken and devastated in the aftermath of her own self-destruction, her fractured faith screamed out that somehow, she still had a faint pulse and her shattered heart was, in fact, still beating.

Following a lengthy career in social services, Kelly began writing full time. Her first book, You Have Such a Pretty Face, is a memoir detailing the emotional journey of being obese and the surprising changes brought on by her 243-pound weight loss following bariatric surgery, as well as the emotional factors that contributed to her initial weight gain.
