About the Author & Her Debut Novel

Every Broken Angel

Lora Lacey is a storyteller from the Mississippi Delta with deep ancestral ties to the Ozarks. Rooted in the rhythms of the Delta and the mysteries of mountain life, her writing carries the weight of generations—stories whispered, half-told, or buried altogether, often reflecting themes of generational trauma, adoption, and the complexities intertwined with them.

Her debut novel, Every Broken Angel, is a haunting, lyrical journey through the silences that shape us, the secrets families bury, and the fierce, fragile love that survives even in the cruelest soil. Set against the misty ridgelines and hollers of a fictionalized Ozarks, this southern gothic novel follows the fractured legacy of a girl named Ruby—forced too young into womanhood, silenced by those meant to protect her, and hidden away by history.

A fictional account told through the eyes of the daughter she was made to give up, Every Broken Angel uncovers a generational story of shame, mysticism, and survival. At its heart, it’s about reclaiming a voice that was never allowed to speak—giving flesh to a ghost, and light to the things long buried, all while exploring the themes of healing from trauma.

Blending family folklore, spiritual undercurrents, and stark emotional truth, this novel invites readers into a world where women carry trauma like a second skin, and where true healing comes not just from remembering, but from speaking.

Easy to read but hard to forget, Every Broken Angel is for anyone who’s ever felt a story stirring beneath the surface of their own family, waiting for someone brave enough to tell it.
