by Candace Leon
Beauty in His Time is a vivid, poetic coming-of-age memoir that traces one woman’s journey across continents—and into a deeper understanding of faith, identity, and belonging.
Born in Jamaica and raised across cultures and countries, Candace Leon grows up as a stranger in many lands. From the Caribbean to North America, Italy, and India, she navigates the complexities of race, immigration, and cultural assimilation while wrestling with questions of home and self. Through moments of vulnerability, displacement, and quiet reflection, Leon discovers God’s presence in unexpected places—and the beauty of a life shaped in His timing.
Written with emotional honesty and lyrical grace, Beauty in His Time is both deeply personal and universally resonant. It is a story of resilience and hope, of family and heritage, and of learning to see God’s faithfulness woven through every chapter of life.
Perfect for readers drawn to thoughtful memoirs about immigration, multicultural identity, and Christian living, this book invites you to slow down, reflect, and trust that even the winding paths of life are held with purpose.
“Vivid, poetic, emotional … a novel that will nourish your soul, your heart more deeply anchored in the faithfulness of God.”
— Larry Starkey, Associate Teaching Pastor, Grace Fellowship: A Church for All Nations
