 Before I ever wrote one line of a novel, I was a newspaper reporter. My beat was government news. And for most of the meetings I covered, I was the only female in the room. And sadly, all over the world, women and girls face barriers when it comes to fundamental human rights, access to education and an equal place in the workforce. We’ve come a long way. We still have a way to go. Empowered girls grow up to be empowered women. I am so proud to be a part of the #AugusteforWOMEN & #UNWomenAust campaign. Join @augustethelabel and @UNWomen in raising awareness for the empowerment, education, safety and leadership of our sisters. And visit Auguste the Label to purchase one of these beautiful tees! 100% of the retail value goes to meeting the needs of women and girls worldwide! 💗

The Tiger Tailgate is only a couple weeks away on August 4 in Independence (Kansas City), Mo.! I’ll be signing my books. AND former MU football Coach Gary Pinkel will also be there. This fun, family-friendly event helps to raise scholarships for future Tigers. Visit here to get your tickets! Hope to see you there! 🐯 M-I-Z! P.S. You don’t have to be a Tiger to come play. Even KU fans are welcome!😄
 I remember the trailers—so many cattle trailers—from neighbors who knew we had animals that needed to get out before the waters came in.
I remember drinking the canned water from Anheuser-Busch. I remember the Amish and Mennonite men and women (whom we had never met) who traveled from across the country to clean six inches of river silt from our home. I remember the same Amish and Mennonite men and women who stayed through the winter to build our new home. I remember the generosity from people in the community. I remember the gifts that Christmas from the Salvation Army. I remember the woman from a little town in Massachusetts (who had never met me) who sent me encouraging letters for nearly 20 years after the flood. My parents had to find a new normal for their family. And some days were hard, especially for them. But today, I am thankful because in 1993, when we lost “everything,” God showed us humanity. So, if you can, please help those in Texas—in any way you can. It matters. I know. Because it's been 24 years, and it still matters. #Hurricaneharvey |

Inspired by my little, Midwestern hometown, I write about rain on tin roofs, gravel roads, old trucks with holes in the floorboards, small-town summer nights, and most importantly, love.
