Meet Laurie

Once upon a time, many (well, not that many) years ago, a little girl with terrible handwriting had an idea for a story. She sat down to write… and she never stopped. Now a published author of essays, short stories and novels about friendship, faith, loss and above all love, Laurie Batzel continues to write... Even though her handwriting is still deeply abysmal.
