Everything old is new again

September 15, 2015 By Tamera Alexander

I've been looking for an old farm table that I could use for a desk in my office, and I finally found one! Only, it didn't look like the picture below when we got it. I thought I'd taken a before picture but, for the life of me, I can't find it. So just use your imagination, okay?

Novel quotes and words that last

July 31, 2015 By Tamera Alexander

A reader, Paula, wrote me earlier this week and asked a question: "I just finished Rekindled, and want to remember a direct quote from the book. However, when looking back through, I can't locate it. It's the one about forgiveness being the only gift that we can only keep by giving it away. I know it's an imposition, but could you possibly send me the exact quote?
