Wendy also traveled to the Middle East for an in-depth look at the plight of Syrian refugees who escaped from their war-torn country to find refuge in Jordan.

She then worked in several television markets across the country as an anchor/reporter, including two stints at ABC affiliate WCHS-TV in Charleston, West Virginia, her hometown.

Don't settle for Less than God's Best was released in January 2014.
