The Authors
Emily, Janie and Susan are three moms with a mutual desire to help kids achieve their fullest potential. With the S3 project, they bring together very different belief systems, and have joined together at a point of mutual respect. They've created a resource for families experiencing the sometimes painful growing up phase in which kids begin sorting out "truth" from "myth" and try to figure out where "beliefs" fit into the whole scheme of life.

Emily knows firsthand how hard it can be when kids start asking the hard questions. She recently broke the news to her inquisitive son. As she looked into his heartbroken face, his enormous eyes brimming with tears, she thought, "There must be some way to make this better. But what would it be?" Thus, the Society of Seasonal Secretkeepers was born.
