Holly Brough didn’t love to read until after she gave birth to her first child. Her mother was an avid reader, from self-help books to romance to historical to religious. Their family library was extensive. At a young age, Holly found it difficult to grasp the importance of sitting down in a quiet room with a book in hand. Not until she became a parent did she value the way books could be helpful, providing adventure, hope, solutions, and insight through the eyes of someone else. Writing The Name I Choose has been a rewarding challenge. She has loved sharing Amalia’s story with her husband, three children, and close friends and family. Holly is extremely excited to open up Amalia’s world for you as well. Happy reading.
