​Each week, I’ll be sharing a new Book Bubble—a short excerpt from Bicentennial Summer paired with my personal author insight. These glimpses offer a peek behind the curtain into the characters, themes, inspirations, and heart of the story. Think of it as a weekly chat about the people, places, and moments that shaped Mary’s journey. You’ll laugh, maybe tear up, and definitely get to know the story more deeply.

Explore the bubbles below—and come back often for the next one!
