Favorite Fictional Moms + Giveaway

May 6, 2021 By Karen Witemeyer

With Mother's Day right around the corner, I thought it might be fun to share some of our favorite fictional moms. I'll start.

Colors of Truth Audiobook GIVEAWAY

May 4, 2021 By Tamera Alexander

To listen…or not to listen

March 2, 2021 By Tamera Alexander

But you know what I mean. I love having the freedom to take a walk, to clean, to drive from one place to another while also "reading."
