About Emily

royal family portrait 1

I’m Emily, wife, mom to four, author of five (and counting) books, and owner of Heroic Youth, a leadership organization for youth. I’m also the dyer behind The Yarnbrary, fine yarns from your favorite stories.

I love all things made with thread – sewing, quilting, embroidery, crochet, and my favorite obsession, knitting. I also love chocolate (of course) and great books. When I’m not busy raising and homeschooling my kids or running my business, you can usually find me curled up with an audio book or a British murder mystery, needles and wool in my hands.

I am most passionate about guiding the youth of today in realizing their potential and making the hard choices necessary to maintain our freedoms. They our powerhouses who know who they are and what God sent them here to do. I believe in them and it is my life’s work to teach and support them as they go forward in faith.
