Susan Shelton Dollyhigh was born and raised in the small, quaint town of Mount Airy, North Carolina. Mount Airy (better known as Mayberry), is Andy Griffith’s hometown and the place that inspired The Andy Griffith Show. Susan resides there still today and has two grown children and two grandchildren. Susan is a free-lance writer and columnist. She is a contributing author in Spirit and Heart: A Devotional Journey, Faith and Finances: In God We Trust and The Ultimate Christian Living. Susan’s articles and devotionals have appeared in Connection Magazine, Exemplify Magazine, Mustard Seed Ministry, The Upper Room and The Secret Place. She is also a contributing online writer for ChristianDevotions.us, and TheChristianPulse. Susan uses her inspirational stories as teaching tools at The Shepherd’s House, a homeless shelter for women and children. Susan has a passion for the homeless and has taught a Bible study at the shelter for six years . Susan never intended to become a writer. She never intended to write even one story. But God intended for her to share her life and personal experiences as He continues to restore beauty from the ashes of her life. She is very humbled that God would chose to use her to share the message that His power is indeed made perfect in weakness. Please visit Susan at her website: www.susandollyhigh.com.
