Her book "Where the Light Gets In" captures the emotional story of their family’s experience, and the transformative power of love, forgiveness, and resilience. Kimberly also opens up about her own health crisis, where she faced nerve damage that temporarily took her voice, but through surgery and determination, she found her strength again—now even deadlifting 115 pounds.
