ANTOINETTE MARIE HARDY is a wife and mother first. She enjoys her family time with her husband, Robert “Bobby” Hardy of over twenty-six years and their three boys, Brack, Braylyn and Brendan. Just the simple moments of gathering with her family and friends, playing games, laughing and spending quality time are the moments that bring her complete joy.

People assume she is an extrovert, but she finds comfort in being alone reflecting, thinking, processing and recharging her mind, body and soul.

She has spent a majority of her life walking the long journey of restoration and healing. She placed her pain and fear in bringing joy to others.

She finds solitude in embracing the moments of truth and seeing her scars as beauty. It was trusting God that help her to write the story about Bella, a shattered woman in her book, “Why, not me?”

Life is not easy. Asking Why? Antoinette can tell you first hand to just keep living and do not give up. God will reveal HIS purpose for your life.

Antoinette is passionate about empowering young girls to be the best version of themselves. She is walking and trusting God in the right now!
