A Note from the Author
Born and raised in Bakersfield, California, Ren Tyson grew up the eldest of five in a tight knit Free Will Baptist family, where faith was public and pain was private. After leaving high school early, she earned her GED, packed up her life, and eventually settled in the small town of Ada, Oklahoma. Over the years, Ren has worked in everything from singing and photography to security, law enforcement, and teaching but music and writing have always been her constant companions.Through her memoir, The Liar: Beautifully Broken, and the work that follows, she writes for anyone who has been silenced, doubted, or told to keep quiet. With honest storytelling, dark humor, and unflinching faith, she hopes to offer what she needed most herself: proof that you are not crazy, not alone, and never beyond the reach of grace.
