FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Connie Cleaver once lay on a cold floor with two hungry children and an empty stomach. She had no strength left in her arms. No food in the kitchen. No partner to call. In that darkness, she cried out to God like never before. But God did not turn away from her cry. Instead, He gave her a good night's sleep. And then He gave her a story worth telling.
That story now lives inside a powerful new memoir called "He Who Never Leaves Us." The book follows Cleaver from a childhood of hunger and torn clothes to single motherhood and professional success as a registered nurse. Along the way, a difficult partner relationship, a premature baby born at two pounds, and the slow death of her own hope. Yet she never truly walked alone. She recalls the night her son Jaylon would not stop crying. She lost her job that same day. She fell to the floor holding him while her other child cried beside her. That moment broke her open. But God met her right there on the floor.
The core message of this book lands like a punch to the chest. God never leaves. Not when you fail. Not when you doubt. Not even when you forget He exists. Cleaver writes for the single mother drowning in bills. She writes for the person who feels invisible. She writes for anyone who has ever asked, "If God is real, why is my life so hard?" Her answer comes from thirty years of struggle. God shows up. Always. Just often in ways we do not expect. Sometimes He sends a neighbor with a hot meal. Sometimes He sends a nurse like Rose who teaches you confidence. Sometimes He sends a dream so vivid that you wake up crying His name.
Cleaver does not write like a theologian. She writes like a survivor who still carries scars. Her sentences are short and sharp. She admits when she made terrible choices. She admits when she blamed the devil for her own desires. She admits when she judged her own mother only to repeat the same mistakes. This raw honesty gives the book its power. You never feel preached at. You feel seen. You feel less alone. She shares her vision of Jesus covering her with scriptures like Grace, Mercy, and Love. She does not dress up her pain. She hands it to you exactly as it happened.
The book is available at Amazon and at all online stores as well as at major retailers.

Connie Cleaver worked as a registered nurse for over a decade and served as an LVN since 2001, mostly in long-term care. She raised three children alone while fighting through poverty, pregnancy complications, and the kind of heartbreak that makes you forget how to breathe. God took her impossibilities and turned them into testimonies, one painful day at a time. She still remembers the sleepless nights and the empty pantry. But she also remembers who showed up every single time. Today, Connie writes to remind you that the same God who never left her will never leave you. Not ever. Not once.
