​Author, lecturer, storyteller. There I was minding my own business when suddenly the voices showed up. I finally have a job I truly love. ​

This past June, my husband and I traveled to Concordia, Kansas where the National Orphan Train Complex honored me with the prestigious Charles Loring Brace Award for the historical accuracy within my books. This was during the 19th annual orphan train celebration which paid tribute to the orphan train riders. During the three-day celebration, two statues were unveiled and dedicated to two orphan train riders. These statues joined many more that are placed within the town which proudly proclaims itself The Orphan Train Town.
It brought tears to my eyes and warmed my heart to know that people had cared enough about those children to see they weren’t forgotten. So much so, that my husband and I are donating a full-size bronze statue in memory of George and Joseph Stone- two brothers who rode the orphan trains to Michigan and found homes. The statue will be placed in the town of Concordia, Kansas, and will be unveiled in June of 2023 at the 20th annual orphan train celebration
. Below is the statue that will celebrate the memories of our Michigan boys, George and Joseph Stone.
