My sisters and I didn’t particularly care for Andrea. She was boastful and annoying. There were not, however, many girls our age in the neighborhood and for some reason, she liked to hang out with us. She and I were both in second grade at the time, if my memory […]
Just Read Tours is hosting a social media blitz for Pam Hillman to introduce her Natchez Trace books. While technically I am on a Twitter stop of the tour, I thought I would take this opportunity to introduce the books to you as well as telling you about the giveaway. […]
