Alma Leiva

Grace Through the Shadows is a memoir of crossing borders — both visible and invisible — and finding light in the darkest places. In these pages, Alma shares her journey from the innocence of childhood, through the upheaval of immigration, to the quiet strength discovered in faith, community, and self‑discovery.

Told with lyrical prose and unflinching honesty, this is more than a story of survival. It is a testament to the human spirit’s ability to transform pain into purpose, and to the grace that can be found even in life’s deepest shadows.

Available in English and Latin American Spanish, Grace Through the Shadows bridges cultures and generations, offering hope to anyone who has ever felt unseen, unheard, or far from home.

My Journey

I was born into a world that would soon shift beneath my feet. The familiar streets of my childhood gave way to unknown roads, and the language of my heart had to learn to share space with new words.

Immigration was not just a change of place — it was a crossing of identities, a weaving together of cultures, and a constant search for belonging. Along the way, I faced shadows of loss, displacement, and silence. But I also discovered the quiet strength of resilience, the healing power of faith, and the grace that can bloom even in the hardest soil.

Grace Through the Shadows is the story of that journey — from innocence to resilience, from uprooting to homecoming. Today, I share it not only to honor my own path, but to stand alongside others who are still finding their way through the dark toward the light.

Artistry

Creative Passion

Storytelling is the thread that weaves together every part of my life. I write to preserve memory, to honor heritage, and to transform pain into something that can light the way for others. My creative work lives at the intersection of truth and beauty — where lived experience meets lyrical expression, and where language becomes a bridge between cultures.

Whether I’m crafting my own memoir, translating another’s story, or guiding someone through the process of shaping their life into words, my passion is the same: to give voice to what matters, to create connection where there was distance, and to remind us all that even in the shadows, grace can be found.
