In my brand new book Bonding with the Babies, my hero Frost and heroine Zooey have a unique way of sharing their love with each other and with their families. Frost, the sixth and final Winslow sibling in my Rocky Mountain Family series, plays guitar and piano without knowing a note of music, while Zooey […]
They’re Playing Our Song
I care for my seven-month-old granddaughter Emily every weekend, and one of her favorite things to do right now is to sing. We are a musical family. We’ll randomly break into song anytime we hear a Broadway lyric or a nursery rhyme. For many years I sang in church choir and have acted in musicals […]
