“When self-doubt and fear of judgement surfaced, I sought God, leaning into His strength when mine felt depleted. I prayed for wisdom, peace, and the grace to show up even when I felt like falling short. I reminded myself that He had called me to this role, and through Him, I could be the mother my children needed, not perfect, but faithful, loving, and constantly growing.”

ARPress is honored to publish “Overcoming Trials With Trust: A Single Mother’s Journey” by Kyianne Joy Harewood. This book is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and the ARPress website.
“Overcoming Trials With Trust: A Single Mother’s Journey” by Kyianne Joy Harewood is a spiritually uplifting work that invites readers to lean on their faith in God when confronted with life’s most painful and uncertain moments. Through a blend of biblical wisdom, personal reflection, and practical encouragement, the book emphasizes the importance of trust as a foundation for resilience. What makes this book especially relatable is its perspective from the author’s own journey as a single mother, carrying the weight of two and navigating parenthood without a partner. Harewood uses her experiences to remind readers—especially single parents—that while life’s burdens can feel overwhelming, God’s strength is always available to carry them forward.
Kyianne Joy Harewood brings years of personal and professional experience to the realities of single parenthood. Early in her career, she worked as an advocate for single mothers and children before becoming a single mother of two herself and founding Eyez Above LLC: a faith-based company focused on helping single mothers thrive and not just survive! In this book, Kyianne Joy shares the challenges she faced and the important lessons she learned throughout her journey, as well as principles she wishes were available as a resource at the start of her own path of single parenthood. Filled with relatable scenarios, practical tips, affirmations, biblical principles, and heartfelt prayers, this book is designed to guide single mothers on a healing journey, helping them reconnect with God and create lasting memories in their parenting journey.
At its heart, the book explores how trials—though uncomfortable and often heartbreaking—can shape believers into stronger and more grounded individuals when faced with trust in God. Harewood explains that hardship is not meant to destroy us but to refine us, making way for deeper faith. She speaks candidly about the exhaustion and loneliness that come with single motherhood, acknowledging the late nights of worry, the financial pressures, and the self-doubt that creeps in when one feels they must carry everything alone. Yet, she shows that these very challenges can become the foundation for a deeper reliance on God.
The second dimension of the book is its practical application. Rather than presenting abstract theological ideas, Harewood offers real-life guidance on what trusting God looks like in the middle of crises. She outlines principles such as setting healthy boundaries, showing unconditional love, fostering emotional intelligence, and celebrating progress—all lessons drawn not only from Scripture but also from the lived reality of raising children as a single parent. By weaving personal experiences with relatable scenarios, she creates a conversational and compassionate tone that reassures readers—especially single mothers—that they are not forgotten by God and that their sacrifices are seen.
“Overcoming Trials with Trust” is compelling because it speaks to a universal truth: everyone faces struggles, but not everyone knows how to navigate them with faith. Harewood writes in a way that is both comforting and empowering, making her message accessible to readers from all walks of life. For single mothers in particular, the book offers a lifeline—a reminder that their efforts are not unseen, their struggles are not in vain, and their faith can be the strongest gift they pass on to their children. Her authenticity, combined with scriptural grounding, creates a book that feels less like a lecture and more like a heartfelt conversation with a friend who has been through the fire and come out stronger.
For those searching for hope, encouragement, and a renewed perspective on life’s hardships, this book is not just inspiring—it is transformational.
