Why I read/write: 
I am a prodigal, one who frequently loses myself or runs from God. I write to illustrate God's love for us on our journeys and to describe His pursuit of the lost, lonely, and wandering. My novels contain this central theme. My blog journals through my life, including my doubts, fears, and passions. I write about the women I serve in prison ministry; I detail the hardships refugee, persecuted, and misplaced persons face; I describe the writer life as I come to know and understand myself through it.
