Becoming an author has always been a desire for Nirmala Lewis. She was quite aware of her zeal for writing since she was a young child growing up in lower Westchester, NY. Her motivation and inspiration derives from her love for words and literature. Writing and poetry has always been her passions. Putting a pen to paper and unraveling emotions, thoughts and dreams helped her gain a deeper understanding of self.

Giving Grace Vol. 1 is Nirmala’s first published book that embraces motherhood and all the intricacies that accompanies being a new mom. She tells her story with compassion and vulnerability. She hopes that other moms or individuals who have experienced a tidbit of her story can find moments to reflect, stay strong and give themselves Grace. Motherhood is not an easy task and juggling between being a mom, a wife, an educator and much more all takes dedication, perseverance and patience. She is a mom of two amazing children that brings meaning and joy into her world! Her husband has been her best friend since high school and has been a constant pillar in her life. 

Nirmala would love to continue writing more books—especially children’s books. There are plenty more stories to tell and her chapter entitled Love, Strength and Hope, is just the beginning of her journey as an author!
