Elaine's poetry has become an important part of the Women of the Bible Quilt study series. Her honest and meaningful words help us better understand the struggles and emotions in the lives of these women and in ourselves. Elaine's wonderful contemplative and introspective writing connects with the inner passions and turmoils that are part of every woman's inner life.
