The lucky winner of April’s giveaway will receive a copy of Laura Brodie’s beautiful new book, Love in a Time of Homeschooling: A Mother and Daughter’s Uncommon Year. This hardcover book, valued at $25.99, is, as Mary Pipher, author of Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls wrote, “…funny, heart cracking, and ultimately profoundly educational.”
I was moved to write of the book: “After decades of immersion in the modern homeschooling movement, I am convinced that love is vital to its successful practice, an ingredient ignored by homeschooling’s critics and sometimes lost by practitioners in a search for the perfect curriculum, textbook, or field trip. Laura Brodie shines a spotlight on love as an essential ingredient, creating a well-earned space on all homeschoolers’ bookshelves and, optimistically, on the bookshelves of all parents.” Linda Dobson
If you’d like the book on your shelf, here’s your opportunity to go for it!
