"A Home For My Books...." VFW National Home for Children, Eaton Rapids, Michigan

Recently, while signing and sharing my books at Joint Base Andrews Air Force Base, Prince George's County, Maryland, I met a Colonel, United States Army, from Eaton Rapids, Michigan.  She introduced herself, and immediately began to speak with me about a place that is very dear to her heart.  A place where both she and her husband volunteer.  This special place is "VFW National Home For Children," Eaton Rapids, Michigan.   As our conversation continued to evolve, we spoke about The Children's Home, and my books finding their way there.

The Murray Family

So very nice to meet Audrey and The Murray Family while book signing at Chicquapins Ice Cream and Gift Shop.  The "Annual Festival On The Square, Hayesville, North Carolina," has always been a favorite time of mine.  Meeting the longtime families who have resided in Clay for generations, the curiously happy visitors, and the many seasonal residents that enjoy the beauty and friendliness of "The Mountains" is a joy!
