Description:

We are sisters in Christ who became friends over a shared love of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty, found especially in good and great books. Our primary vocation is that of marriage and motherhood, but we feel a secondary call, as educators and homeschool moms, to walk with families who are seeking to help form souls who are capable of responding to the vocation God has called them to. Our objective is to form our children and grandchildren to the best of our ability, and in so doing share what has been meaningful to us with others that it may encourage them and lighten their burden. As homeschoolers, classical educators and Christians, we have a passion for the ancient Greek paideia and the loving education of Louisa May Alcott‘s Plumfield (from her novel Little Men).

Interview: Meet Hilda van Stockum’s son, John Tepper Marlin

8/3/2022
Last August, Diane and Sara interviewed John Tepper Marlin - son of beloved author Hilda van Stockum. We are sharing this again one year later. A special thanks to Jill Morgan of Purple House Press for helping us connect with John Tepper Marlin, son of Hilda van Stockum. Fans of the Mitchell's books will know John better as Timmy. ("Good news, Mama!" Timmy in Friendly Gables) Diane and Sara spoke with John a couple of times leading up to this interview and enjoyed each encounter more than the one before. In particular, we felt like we were really getting to know Hilda through John and his stories. We hope that you enjoy this lovely interview as much as we did! This interview is part of our Hilda van Stockum week. Earlier this week we shared podcast reviews of some of her books. Today we talk with John about his mother and their life together. And on Friday we will be airing a special Borrowed House Book Club that we recorded with some of the ladies of Biblioguides and Jill Morgan of Purple House Press. We hope that you will join in the fun and maybe love Hilda as much as we do. Check out our Beloved Author: Hilda van Stockum page for links to all of our reviews, book clubs, and things related to Hilda van Stockum.
