Who Inspires You?

Riding the Orphan Train

It’s not news that I enjoy reading—whether it’s an e-book on my phone or a physical “breathe in the scent” paperback—but I’ve not been one to listen to audiobooks. I find it easier to snatch rare moments reading on my phone, like while I fold washing or sit in the school car park waiting for […]
