Mindy is the author of Eve and Adam: Discovering the Beautiful Balance (Deseret Book, 2020). She loves deep discussions with faithful women of all ages trying to joy, even amid life's thorny patches. She's currently working on a master's degree in Christian Practice. In addition to research and writing, she enjoys working with non-profits like Fight the New Drug and the Elizabeth Smart Foundation, whose board she currently serves on. Her perfect day would include playing with her grandbabies, exploring along the beach, digging into a new book, and eating lots of scrumptious treats-definitely with frosting. And she's never met a Diet Coke she didn't like!

Candace is currently an undergraduate at Brigham Young University in the Art History and Curatorial Studies department. She is primarily interested in religious art, leading her to intern with the BYU Museum of Art in religious curation. She has worked as a teaching assistant for U.S. history and politics classes for over three years. She is an avid reader with a deep love for libraries whose perfect day involves burying herself in a pile of books. She is also a proud aunt whose idea of babysitting is taking her three nephews to one of the three libraries for which she has current library cards. Like her mom, she's never met a Diet Coke she didn't like.
