If you're a library reader, print copies of Little White Flowers are available to borrow in more than 30 libraries in 11 states. (Note: since LWF is in hoopla as well as some Libby libraries, there are simply too many libraries that offer it electronically for me to catalog, which is why this guide only includes print books.)

There are some fantastic events going on online this month to upli

In January's newsletter, I announced that Little White Flowers is now available at The Briar Patch in Bangor, ME.

However, if you just want to skip to the library locator, feel free to. Libraries provide ebooks using two different models: the purchase model and the cost per che
