Author Maureen Hardegree will be with us on Monday.  She’ll be telling us a little bit about “growing up a character” over the course of a YA series.

Maureen also knows a little something about nurturing dreams and “growing up”  her very own “real live” YA project–her daughter.  I received permission from Maureen to post these amazing pictures of her young (yes!) teenaged daughter following her dream in the ballet as she dances the lead in Cinderella.
