Carole sits down with founder of the Well-Read Mom ministry, Marcie Stokman, to chat about how her ministry got started and the purpose behind these communities.

Their mission says it all! “Well Read Mom accompanies women in the reading of great books and spiritual classics to encourage personal growth, friendship, and meaningful conversations in order to explore the human condition and reorient ourselves to what is good, beautiful, and true.”

Join us for this delightful conversation about motherhood and the gems hidden in quality literature for mothers, beyond our work with our children’s education.

You'll hear about:

• How a wide range of relationships best socializes children
