Ashley Kinkead is the author of “After the Locusts: A Story of Hope for Anyone Estranged or No Contact with a Parent" available on Amazon.

Ashley was estranged from her parents for 22 years. They reconciled in 2024. Through a recovery program in Ashley’s church, they have spent the last year rediscovering and restoring their relationships across 3 states. The step of faith on Ashley’s part has brought great restoration, peace, and healing. 

In "After the Locusts", Ashley makes a bold promise - both parents and their adult children can break generational patterns, live as peacemakers, and find their whole identity in Christ. Written from first-hand experience, this book will help you go forward with living a more healed and full life, even if you don’t reconcile.

Constance Hastings brings an outsider’s perspective to what insiders know about the story of Jesus. Raised by non-religious parents, educated in a Christian school, lover of great literature, teacher of the disadvantaged, ordained in a mainline denomination, and mental health counselor. She aims to make connections by speaking in new places, drawing on the old voices of meaning. With an edgy voice recognized by those caught in an existential dilemma, for those who have never been in church or not been in church for a long time, for those who used to think they knew him, Constance Hastings confronts your concept of one of the most controversial figures who ever existed and the trouble Jesus means.
