About the author, Ellen Kolb:

I’ve been active for over 30 years in pro-life work, spending most of that time bringing the pro-life perspective to policy debates in New Hampshire’s State House. I retired from professional lobbying and campaign work in 2021 in order to concentrate on writing, community advocacy, and hiking on Granite State trails.

“As Jesus is leaven for our souls, so Christians are called to be leaven to the world” (Fr. Brian Nolan).
