Tyane “Ty” Boye is first a Christian wife and mother, a native San Franciscan who wandered forty years through a wilderness of cults and denominations before a dormant spiritual hunger was finally met by the Lord’s voice speaking clearly in her heart.

A freelance violinist with a degree in Creative Arts, Tyane spent many years immersed in 1920’s nostalgia as she performed in vintage dance bands throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. With her husband-also a vintage enthusiast- she restored a Victorian home and kept busy raising a family while drifting in and out of churches and relationships. But in 2008 Tyane’s comfort zone would be shattered when a Christian friend reported seeing her in an open-eye vision narrated by an audible voice. Seeking proof of the supernatural, Tyane embarked upon a serious study of the modern prophetic movement. Convinced of the reality of the charismatic gifts, she began to receive seer training which was later chronicled in her book Prophetic Intern . In 2012, Ty founded an online Christian ministry, www.lostpennyfound.org, where she currently prays daily over requests for prophetic words and dream interpretations.

It was during this season of personal transformation that Ty’s interest was rekindled in an old manuscript that she had promised to complete for a close friend, an Afro-American prophetess named “Effie.” With her ear now tuned to the spiritual aspects of Effie’s struggle for freedom, Ty left California and ventured to Fort Worth, Texas to seek help in the writing process from author Sandy Landry. Go Find My Story has already touched the lives of many who have found their story concealed within Effie’s first person account of a poignant pilgrimage spanning 79 years, 2000 miles, and 6 husbands.

Sandy Landry grew up in Louisiana and Mississippi during the Civil Rights era of the sixties. She shared a blindness that robbed dignity from a race whose freedom had been won a hundred years before. In college, she pursued an education in English literature, taught high school, and began her own pilgrimage in Christianity toward finding her worth, identity, and significance developing a firm belief that everyone is meant to be on that journey. The teachings of Arthur Burk on the redemptive gifts changed her and gave her keys on spiritual gifting that transformed her thinking.

When Tyane Boye presented her with an authentic story of an African-American woman who started her struggle for personal freedom in the South, Sandy gladly joined her efforts to see it in print. She recognized quickly the DNA of a redemptive prophet in Effie, and the unfair struggle that consumed much of Effie’s life’s energy, but also that God had given Effie a gift bigger than her pain.

“An often engaging portrayal of a remarkable African-American woman.”
