edit data

I’m a Christian author, wife, mom, Gigi, reader, gardener, tea drinker, and beach lover. My husband and I live in a 75-year-old house with a wrap-around porch and a clawfoot tub. We met on a blind date when I was 16 and have been married over 40 years! We have two married children, two grandchildren, and four grand-dogs.

Writing has been my passion since I learned to create letters on paper. My books feature flowers and gardens—and like real-world gardens, the characters and their stories are messy! This isn't inspirational fiction for perfect people; it's about messing up, and being loved anyway. Because God loves you no matter what!

Happy reading, friends. ...more

And Heaven Came Down

"Jesus came and told his disciples, 'I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.'" Matthew 28:18

Jesus looked down from heaven and saw all that troubled his people. He saw the uncertainty and the fear. He saw how some fell to their knees in prayer, trusting him to care for them while the world went crazy. And it warmed his heart.But others scurried about trying to figure out how to fix Read more of this blog post »
