Introducing: Generous Kids

A little over a year ago, Andrew DeYoung, my editor at Beaming Books, came to me with an idea. Would I, he asked, be interested in writing three books, for three age groups around the SAME idea–namely, generosity? I loved everything about the project: the challenge for me as a writer (could I come up with […]

Publisher’s Weekly says, “In the vein of Ann Voskamp and Sarah Young, Rivadeneira (Known and Loved: 52 Devotions from the Psalms) offers a devotional perspective on financial desperation in the suburbs. Balancing between mystical mirth and spiritualized snark, she reflects on […]

Googling Nudists & Other Vulnerabilities
