Thanks for the link to the Donna Freitas article. I know her through children’s lit circles, so it’s interesting to see her in her other sphere. We had the most interesting conversation at a retreat earlier this year about faith (she reviews books for PW, often relating to faith).
Bored in Vernal made a mistake in the title of the Sunstone session. This was not the “What Women Know” panel. It was “Mormon Motherhood, Choice or Destiny.” It was also about Mothers Who Know, but “What Women Know” was a different session.
