About The Author

meet Darci J. Hayford
author of Scapegoat

Born in rural Kentucky, Darci lived through the challenges of a highly abusive and dysfunctional family only to escape the illusions of Tinseltown, sex trafficking, and the entrapment of multiple cycles of abuse. Her faith in God and tenacity to peel away all older layers of pain to find solace are her armors to overcome life’s miseries.
With Scapegoat, Darci takes her readers to a dreadful ride where the light of hope and forgiveness is far better than it usually seems. The story revolves around a strong and frail character, Darci, who seeks love from her childhood and is unfamiliar with the words of harmony, peace, or joy. Darci’s approach is to enlighten the minds of those fighting with their inner demons and the worst realities of the world.
The journey of the author from panic attacks, fear, insecurities, fragile mind, and ripped soul to redemption, forgiveness, identifying her worth, having faith in God, and leaving the scars behind will open your mind and heart to the door where flowers bloom, light never dims, and the clouds of desperation never creep.
So, if you are looking for a novel that can unravel the secrets of living in this world with peace, a tale that will assist you in coming out of darkness, or a tale that will enlighten your journey to God, then Scapegoat is for you. Delve into the journey where darkness hovers and redemption collides in a way you never expected.

My Mission
Darci’s mission as an author is simple: to enlighten people’s minds with faith and call them to a self-recovery voyage. Her aim is to show people how to find the path to self-discovery. Her incredible accomplishment of writing this book is a testament to her belief in God and awareness of self-worth.

My Vision
We have all gone through some of the worst realities of life in different phases, and we have all used different strategies to overcome these challenges. Through Scapegoat, Darci envisions enlightening the path God has chosen for a person to stand firm in the face of bitter realities and to choose His direction over everything to lead a peaceful and successful life.
