Author Bio: Deloris Calhoun-Wright

Deloris Calhoun-Wright is a devoted child advocate, Christian leader, and author whose work centers on safeguarding the emotional wellbeing of children impacted by separation,
divorce, and complex family transitions. With unwavering conviction, she champions the
belief that every child deserves peace, stability, and dignity regardless of the challenges unfolding within adult relationships.

With an extensive career in healthcare and a Master of Theology from Hope Bible Institute, Deloris also brings a grounded, compassionate perspective shaped by both professional
experience and faith. She is a devoted wife, the proud mother of two successful twin daughters, the guardian of a kinship child, and a grandmother of three.

Guided by faith, compassion, and lived understanding, Deloris approaches family advocacy with grace rather than judgment. She recognizes the complexity of parenting amid personal pain and unresolved experiences, and she meets families where they are
without shame, blame, or condemnation. Through her work, she invites parents and caregivers to pause, reflect, and lead with intentional responsibility, fostering healthier
emotional environments where children can feel safe, seen, and valued.

Deloris brings a strong foundation in education, peer support training, and family-focused service to her writing and advocacy. Over the years, she has listened deeply to families, supported caregivers through moments of uncertainty, and witnessed firsthand how communication, accountability, and emotional presence profoundly shape a child’s sense of security and belonging. These experiences inform her child-centered approach, one that
honors growth, healing, and the possibility of meaningful change at every stage of the parenting journey.

The Child in the Middle is Deloris’s debut book, written as a compassionate guide to support families navigating co-parenting challenges and life transitions. With clarity, empathy, and lived insight, she reassures parents and caregivers that it is never too late to choose healthier patterns, repair what has been strained, and protect what matters most.
