Behind every book is a message worth sharing. 💛 When I wrote 'Justin: The Bridge Between Us,' my heart was to remind children—and all of us—that every person deserves to be known before being judged.

Which character or lesson in the story resonated most with your family? Let me know in the comments below! 👇

In Justin: The Bridge Between Us,
Justin is often judged before anyone takes the time to know him. When Lisa is paired with him for a school project, she discovers that there is so much more to Justin than what she first saw.

It’s a story about kindness, acceptance, friendship, peer pressure, and learning to see the value within others.
Because every child deserves to be known before being judged. 💛

“People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” — 1 Samuel 16:7 NIV

I hope Justin's story opens conversations in homes and classrooms and reminds children that every person deserves the chance to be known before being judged.

Please help me celebrate by sharing this post! 💛📚🌉

Three books. Three stories. One message close to my heart. 📚🤍 All On Amazon

When I look at these books together, I’m reminded that sometimes the things God places in our hearts take time to become something we can finally hold in our hands.

🌊 Ocean Within: The Search for Love That Led Me to God shares my own story—my search for love, healing, forgiveness, and the God who was there through it all.

📖 Wren: The Girl Behind the Pages reminds children that the gifts inside them have value, even when they’re afraid to let others see them.

🌉 Justin: The Bridge Between Us is a story about looking beyond appearances, discovering someone’s strengths, and learning that sometimes understanding is the bridge that brings us together.

My memoir and the first two books in my Value Within children’s series—sitting together on one little coffee table. 🥹

I’m grateful for every person who has purchased a book, shared a post, encouraged me, or placed one of these stories into the hands of a child.

And we’re not finished yet. ❤️
