Award-winning author and screenwriter who believes in the power of a well-told story. She delivers page-turning stories that will keep you reading all night.

What kind of story makes your day? Stories are the strands that connect us, take us on amazing journeys, and perhaps even shape our future.

Let me share a little secret with you. Since I was just a kid, I've been on this wild storytelling journey.

My grandparents were amazing storytellers, and I looked forward to our winter evenings spent around a woodstove, listening to their stories.

Quotes by Helena Smrcek  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Though this was only our second time to visit this place, I was already thinking about becoming a Christian. It was not because of any sense of guilt about my sin or understanding that Jesus died on the cross for me, but because I saw the love and warmth of these people and thought maybe they had something I didn’t.
