Daphne Harrington was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She still considers Tulsa her "home" and she travels there frequently to visit her family. Although they have lived in Louisiana since 1980, she and her husband, Charles have lived in several locations in the U.S., including both coasts (Palo Alto, California and New York City). She attended Will Rogers High School in Tulsa, Foothills Jr. College in Los Altos, California, and Louisiana Tech University. She is a graduate of the Dale Carnegie Human Relations and Public Speaking Course where she later served as a graduate assistant. After receiving a diploma from Tulsa's Charm, Inc. Modeling School, Daphne worked as a professional model in Tulsa and the surrounding vicinity. Later she served as the Regional Dodge Girl for a national advertising agency in the six-state region surrounding Oklahoma. She made many television commercials and photo ads and also did runway and showroom modeling over a period of ten years.

Although she was raised in church, she later followed a path that led her away from a relationship with God.  Many circumstances and experiences led to Daphne's conversion in 1976 when she gave her heart and her life to Jesus Christ, who is now her first love. These experiences, past and present, have led to an ever deepening relationship with God They provide a rich background from which Daphne draws in her writing. Her passion is to share with others how knowing and walking with Christ can change our lives and redirect us when our life's paths are heading in the wrong direction and bringing us pain. Although not a theologian, Daphne believes that the Spirit of the Lord is our teacher and she is a conscientious disciple who seeks advice and counsel from teachers and elders of the faith. She writes not just from her mind, but from her heart, experience and most importantly, by the Spirit.
