What I Wish People Knew about Having a Chronic Disease
While I’ve written characters with mental illnesses before (Alina and Evangeline specifically), Lady Rose in Hold Her Close is the first I’ve written with a chronic or physical illness.

My Daughter, I see you
Like my previous books, Hold Her Close starts with a psalm. Unlike my previous books, I’m finding it really hard to share this one.

I Have Heard Your Cry
I don’t know about the rest of you but life has seemed pretty overwhelming these past few years.
