PRAISE FOR "HELLO, GRACE"
"Hello, Grace is a heart-rending and heart-healing journey into the soul of grief, courage, and transformation. Lydia Knorr’s beautifully written memoir tells the story of suddenly losing her husband and the raw, winding road that followed—into widowhood, solo motherhood of three daughters, and deep spiritual awakening. Every page echoed my own experience of loss, survival, and the surprising gifts that grief can reveal when we dare to look deeper. Lydia shows us that while loss cracks us open, love—pure and unrelenting—has the power to mend. Her story is an offering, a hand outstretched to others walking this unknown terrain. I see her healing, and in it, I feel my own. Thank you, Lydia, for your honesty, your grace, and your courage to share. Love heals."
—Tosca Reno, New York Times bestselling author, coach, and founder of the Eat Clean™ revolution
"This book gives language to emotions I’ve carried but struggled to articulate. The concept of GRACE—Gratitude, Resilience, Awareness, Connection, and Evolution—felt like a mirror held up to my own path toward healing. Lydia doesn’t just talk about grace as a lofty ideal; she lives it, and she invites the rest of us to do the same. Hello, Grace is a companion for anyone navigating the messiness of loss, love, and life. It reminded me that even in our darkest moments, there is light. There is growth. And most importantly, there is grace."
—Zamour Johnson, cinematographer and storyteller
"There are some books that don’t just sit on your shelf—they sit in your heart. Hello, Grace is one of them. In this raw, resonant, and redemptive memoir, Lydia Knorr invites us into the sacred terrain of her life—a terrain shaped by unspeakable loss, unexpected awakenings, and the gentle, unrelenting presence of grace. Her journey through grief, identity, motherhood, and rebirth feels like both a mirror and a map—one that reflects our own stories while guiding us gently forward. Lydia’s lived wisdom reaffirms what I’ve seen again and again: that when we open to love, allow space for grace, and choose to live from our heart, we don’t just survive—we shine."
