You’ll likely find her at her local church serving on staff, or in her writing studio, or in the kitchen whipping up dinner for her growing blended family of seven kids and ten grands. If you still can’t find her-check her front porch in the Connecticut River Valley. She’s often seen there sipping a cup of coffee
