Have you ever wondered how an author would describe you if you were a character in a book? I’m not sure it would be entirely flattering in my case, but today I found a description I dearly wish was true of me:

Having five children aged ten and under may not be the optimal conditions for exhibiting this character trait, but it brings to mind this well-known prayer:
If this was my daily prayer, perhaps even the mother of five children aged ten and under could wear serenity like a perfume. What an example to set before one’s children!
Austen in Austin is a volume of four Texas-set novellas based on Jane Austen’s novels that released on 15 January 2016. My review will be coming soon, so watch this space!
