Having grown up in chaos, Laura is nothing new to a busy household. When not reading, whether for business or pleasure, she is child-rearing, picking up Legos, and toy cars, or pleading for someone to put their pants on. Okay, that sounds wrong, but when you are raising three young boys and one rather angsty teenage girl, things get crazy. Together, this happy, albeit chaotic, family lives off the coast in the great Pacific Northwest.
