Roadschooling: One Family’s Journey
When I became an Amazon Affiliate a couple of months ago, I did not know that one of my dreams would come true. I love to read! Most of my life you could find me reading several books a week, often more than one at a time. Then motherhood hit and those opportunities to sit down and read a good book became distant memories. One of my dreams in life was to be presented with an advance copy of a book and have the privilege of being one of the very first readers.
