She's currently homeschooling children ages 7-17. Tricia is also a best-selling, award-winning author of 70 books, and she leads a teen mom support group in inner city Little Rock. Tricia has a passion for raising children to serve God and others. Her adult sons and daughter-in-law serve in children's church and her adult daughter is missionary in the Czech Republic where she and her husband minister to young adults. She writes about marriage, parenting, writing and homeschooling at www.TriciaGoyer.com.
