It is at once poetry and prose—an imperfect blend of rhythm and reckless abandon of writing rules that works just perfectly. I predict she could be the Ann Voskamp of her millennial generation.

~ Chris Moss, speaker and expert on bringing the generations together
Invite Bethany to Speak at your next event
