Vanessa is currently in the process of turning the novels in the Rain Series into stage productions.

Quotes by Vanessa Miller

“People think that forgiveness is for the person who wronged you, but it's not. Because when we allow things to bottle up inside of us and we don't release it, or forgive the people who may have caused hurt to come in our lives, we just become bitter. And God can't use bitter people.”
― Vanessa Miller, Long Time Coming
