ABOUT THE BOOK

Seeds of Faith

Seeds of Faith is a spiritual memoir tracing the author’s journey of resilience, family, and faith. Drawing from her childhood in Napa Valley and Vallejo, she reflects on the legacy of strong matriarchs, the trials of loss, poverty, and abuse, and the quiet strength that shaped her family. Culpepper shares vivid stories — from summers spent working in vineyards and escaping a menacing guard dog, to enduring her father’s struggles with alcohol and the grief of his untimely death. Through it all, she highlights her mother’s unwavering perseverance and love as the cornerstone of their survival.

At its heart, the book is a testimony of finding God’s presence in both hardship and joy. It explores how seeds of faith — planted by family, nourished by Scripture, and tested through tribulation — grow into wisdom, resilience, and peace. Culpepper’s reflections invite readers to recognize God’s guidance in their own lives and to trust in His timing, reminding us that no struggle is wasted when rooted in faith.
