The Closing Gift They'll Never Throw Away

The Story:

Welcome Home is the book that started it all.

When I was a Realtor, I saw a gap in the closing process. We celebrate the keys and the contract, but for the kids, moving is a time of big emotions and "scary" changes. This story poured out of me in less than an hour.

As I finished the last line, tears rolled down my eyes as I realized this was the exact book I needed when I was a six-year-old girl moving to a new house.

I took a leap of faith to self-publish, and today, I’m honored that Welcome Home has been featured on

Abbott Elementary, recommended by Compass CEO Robert Reffkin, and purchased by many successful Realtors.

My Vision: To ease the minds of children moving to a new home. Moving is a milestone; let's make it a memory.

"This children's book is a perfect gift for any Realtor to give a family on their moving day. There is a sweet message in the story letting kids know that people make a home, and a new home can be filled with just as much love as the old home."
