Sarah Holman is a not so typical mid-twenties girl: A homeschool graduate, sister to six awesome siblings, and author of five published books and counting. If there is anything adventuresome about her life, it is because she serves a God with a destiny bigger than anything she could have imagined.
Hello Sarah Holman, Last night I finished reading "There Was Always Laughter in Our House." I found it cozy, sweet, and witty.
I like your sense of humor, your love of family, and your appreciation for your mom's Christian home education. Such creative home-learning and life in the country truly sound memorable and delightful. We followed Charlotte Mason's principle's too.
By the way, correcting Sunday school teachers is awkward, ha, ha. One of my own children did this, and I'm beginning to suspect other home taught children who know their Bible, can't resist doing the same. And yes, hens are entertaining. We doted upon ours and they rewarded us with the best eggs and pest control. On another point: I could relate to your skirt-chapter as all the females in our family are comfortable in one - although our wardrobe is varied.
Are you curious to know how I came upon your book? My son, Nigel Andreola, who is an illustrator and writer, joined the "Homeschool Authors" FB page. He spotted "There Was Always Laughter in Our House" and decided to read it. Since it is on our Kindle cloud, and he told me I would like it, I read it - - - and he's right. - Yours, Karen Andreola
Thank you so much for stopping by! Actually, we had your book, A Charlotte Mason Companion, on our shelf. I think it was when I picked it up that I realized that Mom had based our school on the Charlotte Mason method. I remember reading the reviews from your family in CBD all the time and finding them helpful. I'm glad you enjoyed the book. Sarah

While not the best formatted ebook, not an exhaustive history, I really enjoyed this little book. It was a bit of history, with lots of pictures and interesting facts. I look forward to reading more in this series.

I am not going to be to harsh in this review because I didn't finish the book. I got to the chapter of bigotry and I deleted it from my Kindle? Simply put, I think that the author was unbiblical in much of what he said. The book felt lik...
I wrote this story in one day after a conversation with my mom. It is a what if story. What if Joseph of Arimathea was the rich young ruler and was on the road to Emmaus.

Since I really enjoyed Duty, I jumped at the chance to review Honor. After all, I love how Rachel writes her romances. Yes, maybe there is a little more pre...
