I grew up in . . . Atco, New Jersey. Four sisters and one brother made life in a one-bathroom house interesting. My parents lived out their Christian faith, and even though we didn’t have much, we didn’t want for anything.

As the British Empire comes to an end, millions flee to the roads. Caught up in the turbulent wake is Captain Cam Fraser, his sister Miriam, and the beautiful Indian Dassah.

The best part, along with getting to spend time with some beloved friends, is that I have a partner in crime, er, I mean a partner in travel – my precious friend, Dorothy Adamek, who also happens to be a fabulously talented writer as you may know if you have hung around my blog for the past 6 months.

Are you a re-reader? Why, or why not? And if you are, what are some of the books you have read over and over?

I’m not normally a re-reader…and I rarely watch a movie more than once. I suppose one reason for that is because I always have an unconscionably high stack of to-be-read books and don’t allow myself permission to re-read until that stack is whittled down.
