Tell us a little about yourself. I am the wife of a composer/arranger/worship leader
and mother of girls 4 and 7, whom I homeschool.
This is my twelfth children's book to date.
What was your motivation behind this project? As I was praying for my girls one night, I asked
God how I could begin at their early ages to teach
them the importance of their purity, the value of
"saving themselves" for marriage. This story was
God's answer to that prayer.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? I hope other parents will find in this story the
same answer for their children. I pray that this
book will be an effective bridge to later
discussions on sexuality, purity and marriage.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? As far as kids' books, I enjoy Beatrix Potter and
Arnold Lobel. As far as authors of adult works, Jan
Karon's testimony inspires me greatly. James
Herriot is my all-time favorite author. I also
enjoy Russian classics.
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: This story is God's work. I was just an available
pen.
