“With an engaging approach to family life and current events, Cindy La Ferle shows us that ‘home’ can be a wonderful place. We melt into the pages of Writing Home and give ourselves permission to read ‘just one more’ story. La Ferle makes us look at the browned bananas on our kitchen counter as an opportunity and not as a failure.”
