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.
