  • Season 10 - Reason to Sing with Kelita Haverland
    Sep 11 2024

    In her gripping memoir Reason to Sing, Kelita Haverland pulls back the curtain on shocking truths behind her vibrant public persona. Known for her country music hits and unforgettable comedic characters, Kelita's life has been a rollercoaster of heartbreak, resilience, and redemption.

    "It's taken me over twenty years to get this thing right," Kelita confesses. With raw honesty, she exposes scandalous family secrets and the emotional turmoil that shaped her life. From incest and suicideto drug addiction, betrayal, and the tragic loss of three siblings, Kelita's story is a testament to the power of survival.

    "For years, I hid behind fake smiles and self-constructed walls of shame," she admits. "But I realized that to truly heal, I had to be brutally honest—not just for myself, but for anyone who might find strength in my story."

    Reason to Sing isn’t just about adversity. It's a tale of love, faith, adventure, and ultimate triumph. Kelita’s journey from a small-town ranch girl to a big-city performer, and finally, a woman of deep faith, is told with unfiltered candor and the wit of a true entertainer.

    Kelita’s memoir offers an intimate glimpse into the heart and soul of a woman who found her voicethrough music and perseverance.
