Miriam lives in Lake Wales, Florida where her husband Dave pastored the First Presbyterian Church for thirty-seven years. Her love for the Word and devotion to family informed her role in ministry: teaching Community Bible Studies and Family Living Seminars as well as writing a trilogy on home and family: Keep These Things, Ponder Them in Your Heart, A Time to Play, and Home, God's Design. Her admiration for the almost forgotten Lilias Trotter fueled her research for A Passion for the Impossible: The Life of Lilias Trotter and the companion book, A Blossom in the Desert: Reflections of Faith in the Art and Writings of Lilias Trotter.
