Jean Allen is the author of three books. She holds a Masters degree from Michigan State University and taught 21 years in the public schools of Michigan. Jean is the mother of four children. Her witness is one of tragedy and healing through faith. Her first husband died while he was jogging and two adult sons died of Hodgkin's disease. In spite of her grief, she has attained peace, hope and joy by embracing the Lord and His Word. Many have found her message to be the key to fulfillment.

Presently Jean and her husband, William Allen, spend their summers on Mackinac Island and the winter in Sarasota, Florida. Dr. John Killinger, retired pastor of the Little Stone Church on Mackinac Island states: "Jean's writing displays splendid narrative talent. She writes with verve and interest." Dr. Rilla Taylor, theologian and former missionary, calls this book a "treasure … concise and very readable." Jean is a church elder and past president of Church Women United is Sarasota, Florida with a membership of twenty-five churches.
