Episode Description from the Publisher

Carolyn Givens interviews Melissa Woodruff about her path to being a reader, then a homeschool mom who writes novels, works at her church, and now has become a full partner in Bandersnatch Books! From Radio Shack to camp counseling, Melissa has weaved through life with energy, love and engagement with everyone who God sends her way. When she stumbled into Bandersnatch Books’ booth in the Great Homeschool Convention in 2023, she was mostly looking for good things to read, to fill her inexhaustible need for good books for herself and her kids, but instead she discovered three new friends and sparked a vision for what Bandersnatch Books could become. We’re excited to introduce Melissa to you, and we know you’ll love her as much as we do!
