About Me
Donna Bess
Author Speaker Editor Minister Family Nurse Practitioner
Hi, I’m Donna Bess, an award-winning author, speaker, editor, minister, and family nurse practitioner dedicated to helping others discover healing, identity, and purpose through faith-filled storytelling and truth.
My journey has taken me through valleys and mountaintops, and along the way, I’ve learned the power of surrender, resilience, and divine restoration. Whether I’m caring for patients, speaking to a room full of women, mentoring young people, or writing words that resonate deeply, my mission is the same: to lead others closer to wholeness, one heart at a time.
Let’s rise, reclaim, and become everything God designed us to be.

As Author & Editor
I’ve had the honor of writing books that inspire and transform, including Sidetracked to Surrender and Resilience: Women Rising to Their Greatest Moments.
I also serve as a passionate editor and mentor for emerging voices ready to share their own God-given stories.
When I’m not writing or speaking, you’ll find me praying over big dreams, cheering on brave storytellers, or sipping coffee with the people I love most.
