April Boulware answered Steven L.'s question: Hello April, I grew up conservative Mennonite (Hartville Conservative Mennonite Church in northeastern Ohio), and I just caught one of your ads. I love what you are doing, and I plan to check out your books. Question: have you written a memoir yet? I haven't yet. I'm not sure when or if I will. Thanks for asking!
