    Ooohhh, I don't know if I could ever donate my children, although Hannah did so with Samuel...(1 Sam 1:24-28)
    I read your Illuminations review as well. So glad your book's virtual tour is going great!

    Thanks, Laura!

    Hannah did get to visit Samuel once a year. But still, how tough that would be!!!
