About the Author
The Weight of Grace is Tom Tenney’s debut story, born from a vivid dream and a heartfelt
conversation about the invisible burdens we all carry. Inspired by the phrase “Take up your cross and
follow me,” and deeply influenced by A Liberated Mind by Steven C. Hayes, Tom writes with a focus
on compassion, resilience, and the quiet strength found in human struggle. With a Bachelor’s degree
in Psychology and an MBA, as well as five years of experience as a therapeutic foster parent, Tom
has learned the transformative power of listening and empathy.
He lives in Gilbert, Arizona, with his
wonderful wife and their four sons. When he’s not writing, he enjoys hiking, running, and cheering on
his kids from the sidelines. As a lifelong fan of college football, he proudly roots for the Arizona State Sun Devils.
What if the unseen burdens you judged were a reflection of a shared human experience? What if
every person you met held a lesson you were meant to learn from? This story is a journey into
shifting your perspective, where acceptance illuminates the path, and choosing connection over
judgment leads to a life of deeper meaning.
This is more than a story; it’s an invitation. My hope is that this story inspires you to approach the
world with more compassion and empathy. But beyond that, I want to invite you to take part in
something bigger.
