I love God, people, and stories. I’m an 18 year old apprentice at The Company, where I’m training to become a novelist. 

For most of my life, I never felt like I belonged. Yes, I’m a Christian homeschooler, but the feeling ran deeper than my differences. Sometimes I didn’t even feel like I belonged with my family. It’s hard to feel on the outside always looking in, but it’s even harder in high school. After a few years of hermitage, I needed to try again. So I started learning about Biblical community and conquering my fears. 

Fast forward a few years and I graduated high school in 2023. In Fall I moved halfway across the country from Little Rock, Arkansas to Cambridge, Ohio. Building a new community from scratch, navigating long-distance relationships, and putting down tender roots would be so much harder if I wasn’t prepared. 

I’m a Sonlight alumni, homeschooled from first grade to graduation and surrounded by books for most of my life. When I turned thirteen, I ran out of new books to read (my mom wouldn’t let me read ahead in school) so I turned to our local library. That’s when I found out not all library books are safe or clean. I share book reviews so that other Christian teens who discover the same sad truths will have a resource to turn to.
