Carolyn Astfalk resides with her husband and four children in Hershey, Pennsylvania, where it smells like either chocolate or manure, depending on wind direction.

She is the author of the Contemporary Christian romances Stay With Me, Come Back to Me, Ornamental Graces, and All in Good Time, and the coming-of-age story Rightfully Ours.

Quotes by Carolyn Astfalk (?)

“You fascinate me.” Chris leaned away so he could see her face. “How so?” “You quote Augustine, and you make an awesome campfire. You carry a rosary in your pocket, and you’re going to work at a brewery. You’re a virgin, and you ride a Harley.”
― Carolyn Astfalk, Stay With Me
