Meet Marjie
We're not sure who loves Royal River Books more: Marjie, her two children Louisa and Barrett, or Remy (the family dog). Most Saturdays you will find at least a few of us happily there, helping fellow book lovers find the just-right book or gift.
In addition to being a mom, Marjie works with a local non-profit called the Family Leadership Center (http://familyleadershipcenter.org/about/). She leads workshops and teaches parenting classes on all subjects related to raising families with courage and (maybe just a little) uncommon sense.
