Joyous Hell is a memoir of the life, trials, and tribulations of Kristen von Clef. What makes the story different from every other human--because let's be real we all suffer--is that she has learned to see the joy and the jubilation inside the hell and the horrendous. Kristen suffered traumas, grief, mental health issues, and massive spiritual warfare. She knows she would not be here today without the strength she maintains through Jesus Christ and the Sacraments--namely the Eucharist. Her desire is that you may take a journey through these pages to find hope in your trials and light in your darkness.

​

Kristen’s personal journey is almost available in written form. She is finishing up her own final edits now, before her three editors take over. She going the self-publishing route first, but she might switch to a bigger publisher down the road.

 

The book Joyous Hell | A Life of Finding Joy in Suffering has the release date aimed for October 2026!
