Hi! I’m Carolyn. If you’re like me, you want to give your child the best books, books that will inspire laughter and touch touch their hearts.

But not every kid is the same, and you don’t have time to read all the books.

I’m also an author myself! You can learn more about my books at my Author Site.

Beneath the Swirling Sky is the award-winning first book of The Restorationists, a series about friendship, calling, and the power of art.

Book two, Between Flowers and Bones, releases September 10, 2024 from Waterbrook, an imprint of Penguin Random House.
