Author Nancy Wolf, writing under the abbreviated name of Nancy W., has achieved a remarkable milestone. Her deeply moving book, “Dear G-d: A Conversation with G-d, While on the Road to Recovery,” was recently honored as a Distinguished Favorite in the Inspiration category at the 2026 Independent Press Awards.

For Nancy, writing has been a lifelong sanctuary. From a very young age, she found solace and expression in crafting poetry, short stories, and everything in between. However, it was a series of major life circumstances in late 2020 and early 2021 that truly forged her path as a memoirist. Facing profound challenges, she turned to the page, beginning a daily writing practice to document her intensive journey of healing.

That daily discipline ultimately evolved into a powerful, 460-page spiritual memoir. “Dear G-d” offers readers an intimate look into a profound personal transformation, charting a painful yet victorious course away from addiction and despair. The book is uniquely structured around raw, daily, and completely honest conversations with a Higher Power, providing a vulnerable roadmap for rebuilding a life from the ground up.

Ultimately, Nancy's mission transcends her own narrative. By sharing her vulnerabilities, she aims to reach individuals from all walks of life, offering a universal message of hope. She demonstrates that even the deepest personal pain can be overcome by leaning into a spiritual path.

“I wanted to share my experience with others to give people from all backgrounds the understanding that personal pain can be overcome through spirituality.” — Nancy W.

This prestigious recognition from the Independent Press Awards highlights the incredible impact of her message, cementing her book as a vital beacon for anyone seeking light on their own road to recovery.
