Now that the book has been published, Carol offers some insights on how to persevere, what she learned over the years, and how much research it takes to bring a moment in history to life. Stay tuned to the end of the episode, to learn how to win a copy of Half-Truths!

Thank you for your great questions, Kyle and Brenda!
Thank for being such a great guest, Carol! 🙂
If we know God has called us to write a particular thing, we have to hang in there. It’s all about God’s timing! I say this with authority as I’ve been trying to get a manuscript picked up for over 20 years. God hasn’t released me to self-publish it. I know He’s going to get me to the right publishing house. I know it. So that keeps me going.
Amen, Pam! God’s timing is rarely our own. 🙂 And congrats on being entered into the giveaway!
Inspiring interview that encourages perseverance.
