Hush Child

Hush, Child Growing up in rural South Georgia, there’s nothing quite like the smell of rain, the scent of red clay after a storm, or the sound of raindrops dancing across a tin rooftop. It has a way of slowing everything down. All you want to do is curl up beneath a quilt, close your eyes, and s

Behind Strong Women

Behind Strong Women Being strong does not mean I don’t need love. And being independent does not mean I don’t desire a partner. People often look at strong women and assume: “She’s got it all together.” “She doesn’t need anyone.” “She’s too guarded.” “She’s too independent.” But what
