Carol Lynch Williams talks about The Chosen One

UK S&S



I am so excited that I have a book published in ENGLAND! I lived in England for a couple of years when I was very, very little. I was quite cute then, much shorter and had curly blond hair. I remember having a little red wagon. I really hope that the UK readers will love and embrace Kyra’s story.





WRITING THE CHOSEN ONE

For me, a good story is something that I feel emotionally connected to. Tha Read more of this blog post »

“I write because I love how I feel to have written.”
Carol Lynch Williams

“Tell me,' I said. 'Tell me when you notice me.'

I notice you going into church,' Joshua said. 'I notice your hair, how blond it is. But how in some light it looks like it has red in it. I notice the way you smell when we're close. And the way you walk when we're headed home from church and your family gets out of the Temple first. I notice how you are with your family and how you hold your little sisters. I've seen you stand out on your doorstep and look across the desert. I've watched you walk toward the Compound fence and then on past that. You've been walking for years.”
Carol Lynch Williams

“I'm old with living.
So much older than almost thirteen.”
Carol Lynch Williams, Glimpse
