Best selling author
Writing isn’t just what I do, it’s who I am. As an author I’ve discovered that the power of words can heal and transform our thinking. My own journey from pain to purpose has fuelled every page I’ve ever written, and sharing my thoughts is both a privilege and a calling. I love writing poetry too, especially Haiku, and also short essays. I explore themes of hope, life, mental health, suicide prevention, faith and spirituality. Being a writer allows me to connect with hearts and minds across the world, and there’s nothing I love more than seeing my words inspire others on their own journeys.
Broken to Blooming
“Ellie’s story is initially one of survival… and becomes the joyous testimony of her miraculous transformation into the effervescent Ellie we all know and love.”
Phil Pye – UCB Radio
In her deeply personal memoir Broken to Blooming, Ellie Palma-Cass takes readers on a transformative journey through the first thirty years of her life. The memoir chronicles Palma-Cass’s path from brokenness to healing, offering a heart wrenching story of survival.
The strength of this memoir lies in Palma-Cass’s willingness to bare her soul from the very first chapter. Her writing instantly connects with the reader and her voice remains authentic throughout, neither sensationalising her experiences nor shying away from difficult truths.
What sets Broken to Blooming apart is its dual nature as both a personal testimony and a source of inspiration. It challenges readers while simultaneously offering hope and encouragement. Palma-Cass masterfully brings together themes of resilience, faith, and personal growth, demonstrating how adversity can become a catalyst for transformation.
Readers will find themselves invested in the author’s evolution from vulnerability to strength, from brokenness to blooming. The metaphor of blooming, of new life emerging from seemingly barren ground, serves as a powerful through-line that unifies the entire work.
Readers have found the book extremely impactful, with many noting they couldn’t put it down until they’d finished reading.
Ellie'vation
“This book helps to put scenarios we have all experienced in life into perspective. It allows hope to rise and reign! It breathes life into belief, and belief into life. A book you’ll read again and again.”
Mohamedou Ould Slahi – Author of The Mauritanian (the book that inspired the movie)
In her second book, Ellie’vation, Ellie Palma-Cass offers readers a powerful, spiritual, devotional that tackles themes of hope, healing, and personal growth. Following the success of her memoir Broken to Blooming, this work takes a different approach, focusing on lifting readers above their current circumstances.
The book serves as both a spiritual guide and a source of practical wisdom, with Ellie sharing personal stories that bring “a radical sense of familiarity and comfort” to her readers.
One of the book’s greatest strengths lies in its accessibility and compassion. Readers who struggle with feelings of failure or abandonment will find particular connection in its pages. The author’s approach never minimises these struggles but instead offers a pathway toward hope and healing. Her writing style is conversational and makes complex emotional and spiritual concepts accessible to readers from all walks of life.
