GREELEY, CO (January 27, 2026) – Anointed Colony Media announced today the publication of Faith-Ann Dalton’s long-awaited memoir In This House We Lived: A Faith Journey of Choosing Life Again and Again. Founder of the company, C. Jonah Abbott, is editing the book. Publication in the United States and other markets will commence in print and ebook editions on May 8, 2026.
At twenty-one years old, Faith-Ann Dalton walked into a pregnancy resource center looking for the only way out: an abortion. Between her collapsing relationship with her fiancé, turbulence with her dysfunctional family, and the pressure of her mounting debt, motherhood looked more like a sentence than a gift. But in the quiet spaces of an unexpected maternity home, the shackles of her old life began to crack open. The moment she thought would erase her future forever instead poured the foundation for a new one.
In This House We Lived is a raw, redemptive memoir of trauma, crisis, faith, and the slow, intentional construction of healthy habits. With unflinching honesty and hard-won clarity, Dalton traces her story of becoming a mother before she was ready, learning to choose herself without abandoning her soul, and discovering that healing doesn’t always mean getting it right—it’s about refusing to give up.
Faith-Ann Dalton, a resident of Saint James, Missouri, spoke about her experience writing the memoir. “This book is for anyone who has lived through chaos, regret, or survival-mode decisions, especially young women and mothers who need hope that their story isn’t over. I wanted to show that healing is possible when you take ownership . . . and that it’s rarely a straight line.” When asked her reasons for writing, she said it was “an act of gratitude for the extreme measures God took to reach me . . . I’m most excited to share the kind of redemption that’s real, messy, hard-earned, and deeply human—and the ways God met me in places I never expected.”
“I can’t think of a more fitting book for our second release,” editor and Anointed Colony Media founder C. Jonah Abbott wrote of the project. He hopes the book will be an evergreen resource both for young women and for pregnancy resource centers. “The fight against abortion is one of today’s most important causes for a follower of Christ. Faith’s remarkable story of choosing life has already been told to hundreds across the country, including former Vice President Mike Pence—but you’ll have to read the book for more about that. We pray God will use this book to reach many more with His heart for the innocent and downtrodden.”
The first chapter of In This House We Lived will be released this month for free to subscribers of Faith-Ann Dalton’s email newsletter. Learn more and sign up at www.faithanndalton.com.
