More about Dorcas’ recent release: Tea and Trouble Brewing

You never know what you’ll find in the Smuckers’ Oregon farmhouse. Perhaps teenage boys lighting WD-40 on fire, an army of ants invading, or all the lights dimming. Author Dorcas Smucker, mom of six, gets her perspective back by brewing a pot of tea and escaping for a few minutes. In this collection of essays and stories, she invites you to join her for a cup of tea, hear her tales, and then remember all the stories of your own.
