Kendra Broekhuis has been writing ever since she and her husband spent three years living overseas in Guatemala. Kendra finds joy and therapy in writing, as it is a way to process whatever is happening in their lives: like their move overseas to a place of deep poverty, Kendra’s begrudging first passage into motherhood, their move and transition back to the United States, and the devastating loss of their second baby. Kendra desires to be an encourager to all women honest enough to admit their struggles and celebrate their greatest joys in life.

Kendra’s first book, called , releases from Thomas Nelson on February 28, 2017. The book highlights her 30 Day journey to recognize the Lord’s “I love you’s” in her daily life, as well as her somewhat awkward attempts to be the Lord’s “I love you’s” to her neighbors.

For her day job, Kendra stays home with two of their children, Jocelyn and Levi. She and her family now live and work in the city of Milwaukee, attempting to learn what Love Your Neighbor is supposed to look like. Kendra’s love language is Dove chocolate.
