Born in Visalia, California, I'm a small town girl at heart. I love central California's golden foothills, oak trees, and the miles of farmland. In my mind, there's nothing sweeter in the world than the heady fragrance of orange blossoms on a sultry summer night.

As a little girl I spent hours on my bed, staring out the window, dreaming of far off places, fearless knights, and happy-ever-after endings. In my imagination I was never the geeky bookworm with the thick coke-bottle glasses, but a princess, a magical fairy, a Joan-of-Arc crusader.

My parents fed my imagination by taking our family to Europe for a year when I was thirteen. The year away changed me (I wasn't a geek for once!) and overseas I discovered a huge and wonderful world with

Christmas Stories on Screen. A Very Proud Moment!

I promised last week that I’d share more about our Christmas movies, and here I am, finally catching my breath long enough to sit down and write to you. Life has been wonderfully full lately — Tule books, Tule films (yes, four Lifetime Christmas movies this year…isn’t that so cool?), my own December release, and then just everything else we all juggle this time of year. But today I wanted to pause

I am quite the fan of this author, and have read a dozen of her books…books I definitely liked better. This one was a struggle to get through, and at times I would flip through several pages just to move the story forward. But I had

Quotes by Jane Porter  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Yet happiness isn't something you chase, it's something you are. It's something you think, it's something you believe.”
Jane Porter, Odd Mom Out

“All warfare that is not defensive is criminal.”
Jane Porter, The Scottish Chiefs

“God forgive her, but underneath the smiles and the good job and the great family, she was tired. Desperately tired. Tired to the point of breaking. In the last few years the exhaustion had grown, rising up like a specter to knock on her door. No one knew, she hadn't told even Kit, but in the past year she'd begun to question her entire existence. Why was she even here? What was life? Was she even necessary?
Maybe all women had these thoughts. Maybe all women felt tired. But the thoughts confused her. Good women weren't supposed to have doubts. Good women were supposed to be strong and selfless. Instead Meg felt needy and afraid. What if there was no reward for all the hard work? What if life was just one sacrifice after another?”
Jane Porter, The Good Woman
