No One To Wash Her Hair

Originally released in 2007, this heartfelt story returns with new life.
As Jackson listens to his great-grandmother reflect on a lifelong love, he begins to find his own in the kind-hearted Karen Evans. Set against the charm of Mississippi and the strength of family ties, this is a story about legacy, faith, and love that stands the test of time.

The Secret School 

There’s a school inside every school, one adults never see.
The Secret School explores the hidden lessons kids learn from each other: about identity, power, belonging, and survival. While educators focus on grades and goals, a different curriculum is unfolding in hallways, lunchrooms, and group chats. Are we paying attention?
