Lots of writers loved reading as a child. How about you? If so, what did you read? I LOVED reading when I was growing up! I simply couldn’t get enough books--my room was crammed with them. I walked the prairie with Laura, solved mysteries with Trixie, and I considered Anne (spelled with an e) to be one of my very best friends. I felt like life wasn’t worth living when Beth died, and I cried buckets when Old Yeller was shot. I explored a magic wardrobe and walked with my hands snuggled deep in Aslan’s soft, glossy mane. (H

A Warm Welcome to Sandra Ardoin Sandra will give away an e-book of A Reluctant Melody . To enter to win leave an e-mail address and a comment below.

As I was writing my novel, When Dawn Breaks , I thought of one situation in particular, one where I encountered a mother similar, in many ways, to the one my heroine, Jacqueline Dunn encountered. It was the spring of 2002. I was a new mom with a passion to change the world. Young and overwhelmed with the whole parenting thing, I joined a women’s Bible study.  We met to discuss Scripture, parenting ideas and problems, and what God’s Word had to say on those matters. We shared out fears and our tears, along with steady doses of hugs and chocolate. One morning, a new woman joined our group. She seemed so quiet, so meek, so… vulnerable. Broken.
