There’s a deliciously dangerous threat that pulses on the pages when the rebellious son comes home.  This is the man whose views were way outside the box.  The man who refused to conform.  The one who snubbed his nose to tradition in [...]

Elizabeth was one of Presents’ most beloved writers from the 1980s to 1998, when she retired.
