There’s something about literary sisters. They capture a reader’s heart and loyalty for life. If I said Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy you would know right away that I was talking about the March sisters. And the astonishing thing is that they have made an impact on readers for over a hundred years! There’s just [...]
Sisters are truly gifts from God. I know I prayed and prayed for one! Mine was born on a March day when I was in first grade – 10 days after my 7th birthday! She had a knack for being cute and goofy at home, then clam up in front of other people. She could [...]
Sisters. Sisters. There were never such devoted sisters! (Singing yet?) Admittedly, that’s an easy song for me to sing. You see, I am richly blessed with sisters. Not only do I have two sisters by birth, I also have seven sisters-in-law! Even better, we all get along. How many extended families do you know can [...]
I grew up in a family of four kids – girl, boy, girl, boy. Raised by a single mother who was working full-time and putting herself through six years of college, it could have been a recipe for disaster. Not so, Grasshopper. All four of us actually turned out pretty good, if I do say [...]
Her name is Valerie and… She’s a blonde. I’m a brunette. She has blue eyes. Mine are brown. She was born on May 12. I was born eight days later. Her mother cut my hair. My mother’s classroom gave us a place to hang out after school. She grew up to marry and teach. I [...]
Being the only girl out of four children and mother of three boys, I don’t have much experience with sisters. However, the Lord blessed me after I joined my church with a group of women called Secret Sisters. If you have never heard of us, this is how it works. But, before I begin, I [...]
Okay, class, time to put on your thinking caps and get out your number two pencils. We’re having a totally irrelevant pop quiz today. Since we’re talking about sisters to commemorate the release of Lorna’s new book When Love Calls, I thought it would be fun to think back on some famous TV and movie [...]
Although we share the same genetics, growing up my (older) sister and I were very different. She liked hard rock (think Alice Cooper). I liked soft rock (think the Carpenters). She hated to sew. I loved to sew. She preferred watching soap operas. I preferred riding my bike. She liked scary shows like Night Gallery. [...]
How many of you have ever watched the TLC show, What Not to Wear? I’m a little embarrassed to admit I thoroughly enjoy the show. What the co-hosts, Stacy and Clinton, do is surprise someone who has no fashion / make-up sense with a $5000 shopping spree and a make-over. (Someone like me who can’t [...]
Broken Dreams As children bring their broken toys With tears for us to mend, I brought my broken dreams to God Because He was my friend. But instead of leaving Him In peace to work alone, I hung around and tried to help With ways that were my own. At last I [...]

The heroine in Rose’s new book is a beauty advice columnist. Today, I will try my hand at a different kind of beauty advice column – EMERGENCY BEAUTY! In 2009, Western Kentucky was hit with one of the worst ice storms in our history. There were folks without electricity and water for up to 2 [...]
My husband is a certified rock hound. Okay, so maybe there isn’t a certification for that, but he’s definitely certifiable! While his interest doesn’t lie so much in archaeology, like Rose’s hero in her newest release, Wedding on the Rocks, he’s definitely crazy about rocks. We have rocks of all shapes and sizes in our [...]
Yes, it’s been that kind of a week, month, year. My tizzy addled brain is chalk full of fluff and very little else. Luckily I received a God prompt as I sauntered into work this morning. That resulted in a full blown panic attack. Ohmygoodnessit’smyturntoblogandIdon’thavenaythingread!!!!!! I’m sure you’ve all been there a time or two. [...]
In honor of Mother’s Day, and having absolutely nothing to do with the fact I have the most normal job history in the world, I thought I would share the most unique job my mother ever had. Although she is currently living the luxurious life of a retiree, for thirty-two years she was an educator. [...]
In Wedding on the Rocks, my heroine, Jennifer is a beauty advice columnist for a teen magazine. I chose this profession because as a young girl I loved to read that section of Seventeen Magazine. Yep, the first pages I turned when the monthly magazine hit my mail box were the makeup and hair columns. [...]
Seriously. What is a blogger to do when her writer’s block involves posting on her blog? I mean, we’ve covered everything already. From taking walks to communing with nature; taking care of your health to prayer; from inspiring music to stimulating your senses and a host of other block-breaking ideas. Let’s face it — two [...]
Shell doesn't have a good reputation...But no matter what everyone in Rose Bud, Arkansas, thinks of her, she's back in town with a job to do. She'll stick it out and make the best of things. But why does Ryler have to be the landscaper on this project? She was just getting her heart under control. Ryler has his own reasons for being in Rose Bud, and they don't include Shell. Spying on his birth family was going to be hard enough. He doesn't have time to worry about a woman who dumped him...even if his heart says otherwise. 
McKenzie and Sydney meet in Branson, Missouri, where McKenzie has been recruited to help at the Dixie Stampede. While the girls take in the sights and sounds of Silver Dollar City, they become involved in a search to find a teen girl’s long lost uncle–who is rumored to have settled near the Branson area. With no clue other than a whittled necklace with an “SS” on the back, how will they ever reunite Shara with her uncle? The Camp Club girls are on the case, and they’re not about to give up until they close the gap and reconnect Shara’s family.
Ruled by despair, remorse, and anger, the author’s life had become a classic rendition of the cliché “What’s a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?” Desperate. Overwhelmed. Isolated. Trapped. She hit bottom.
On the elevator of life, those descending will all exit on different levels–some much lower than others. You don’t have to go all the way to the bottom. Stop now and push the “up” button. This book will show you how!
