Wendy's History Detective Club books combine adventure with meticulously researched history. Her debut adult mystery, Murder Takes a Bow was a Cozy Mystery Indie of the Year Finalist. Her cat, Apurrham Lincoln, provides unsolicited "editing" services.
A History Detective Club member shared with me that her mom posed for the painting used for Colonial Williamsburg paper dolls in the 1940s. I was able to track the set down!
The paper dolls arrived in the mail this morning. I am so excited to have these in my collection.

“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.”

For decades, my family has visited a small house in Colonial Williamsburg, just off Duke of Gloucester Street.

If you love Williamsburg, you probably have that place too.
What is it?

Worried your child is reading less as they get older? You’re not alone.

But here’s the good news:
 One of the strongest predictors of how much a child reads is simply having books they want to read.

That’s where The History Detective Club comes in.

“We chose Karoline Leavitt to be his godmother over my own sister- just because you went to Catholic school doesn’t make you a good Catholic. I’m not the first, I won’t be the last, they’re separating kids from moms every day. Where does it end?”

She hasn’t heard from her😳

Someday we’ll live in a nation where there are repercussions for political leaders who break the law.

Where empathy matters.

Where community matters more than division and exclusion.

I have faith.
