At my booth today at the Elephant Garlic Festival, I have an option to purchase a book to be donated to Hope’s Garden Maternity Home. 2 books have been donated, so far! This option is nice for festival attendees who love my book and want to support a local author but don’t have any little ones to buy a book for. ❤️ The generosity warms my heart.
