Author: Katie Cruice Smith, Author

First of all, I am a child of God. I was blessed to come to know Him as my personal Savior when I was just 5 years old! All I ever wanted was to become a writer and a mom, and God has granted me "my petition that I asked of Him." I became a mom through adoption to a beautiful daughter, Hannah, who is teaching me how to mother in God's grace; a handsome boy, Ephraim, who keeps us all laughing; and bossy, sweet-natured Harmony, who is never boring! I stepped into the rocky world of fostering as well but have had to step back and focus on the children God has given me to raise right now. As the marketing assistant for our adoption attorney, I have had the opportunity to see all sides of the triad and work hand in hand with many adoption specialist, adoptive/foster families, and even biological families. Follow along and let's enjoy this unique parenting journey together!

Wildwood Creek is an intriguing tale by Lisa Wingate set in both 1861 and the present.  While it is difficult to weave together two different stories in one book without losing the reader, Wingate expertly does so while keeping the reader on the edge of their seat.
