Meet The Author:

Crystal Hoban

Welcome to the warm, loving world of Crystal Hoban—a place where stories heal, hearts grow, and everyone finds a sense of belonging!

Crystal isn’t just the caring author behind this tender story of love and trust; she’s also a devoted rescuer of furry friends, deeply inspired by the journey of her own rescue puppy, Chrissy. After a rocky start to life, Chrissy learned to open up, trust, and find a safe spot in the loving arms of humans — a journey that colors every heartfelt word Crystal writes.

With a background as a marriage and family therapist and a master’s degree from Syracuse University, Crystal brings a rare blend of clinical empathy and storytelling magic. She understands that love and safety are the roots from which we all grow — humans and animals alike — and she lovingly weaves that truth into every page. Her stories aren’t just words; they’re warm hugs wrapped in pages, inviting young hearts to explore kindness, trust, and the power of belonging.

Living in the cozy town of Glens Falls, New York, Crystal shares her life and adventures with Chrissy, a red hound dog. Together they wander the Adirondacks, follow the whispers of woodland creatures, and splash in shimmering lakes, discovering in nature the same trust and love her stories celebrate.

Beyond children’s books, Crystal is a psychic intuitive, coach, spiritual guide, and creative healer who helps people reconnect to their inner wisdom and authentic voice. She blends energetic alignment, intuitive insight, and grounded guidance to support others in remembering their power, purpose, and voice. Writing has long been one of Crystal’s most sacred tools for clarity, healing, and self-expression; she created multiple journals to help readers move through life with compassion and ease and to reconnect with the deeper magic of their intuition.

When she isn’t channeling, creating, or guiding energetic shifts, Crystal can be found immersed in nature, painting, or exploring new forms of creative expression—with Chrissy always at her side, a living reminder of resilience, trust, and the gentle transformative power of love.

Her mission is to remind others that their voice matters — and that their intuition is a bridge back to themselves.
