​Still Serving
I was honored to write about these inspiring veterans:

Shattering stereotypes is something I love to do when I write. Read two of my latest stories:

Purses featured in "Sewing Hope"

People are asking how they can purchase the beautiful pop-tab purses made by the girls at St. Monica's Girls' Tailoring Centre in Gulu, Uganda, many of whom are former captives of Joseph Kony's terrorist LRA. Click on the purse image at right to find out more about this project or to place an order. As with Sewing Hope, all proceeds go to help the girls. The sale of one "Rosemary" purse supports a young woman and her child for more than six months. These make great gifts!
Book signing for Sewing Hope

Mark your calendars! My first local book signing for Sewing Hope will be held at Ballroom Magic Dance Center, 4200 North Access Road, Hixson, Tenn., on Sunday, December 15, 2013, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Take a break from your shopping and stop by!

Just Released!

Nancy Henderson’s latest book, Sewing Hope (Dust Jacket Press, November 2013), tells the story of Sister Rosemary Nyirumbe, a Ugandan nun who educates and nurtures young women formerly abducted by terrorist Joseph Kony and his Lord’s Resistance Army. All proceeds go to Pros for Africa, a non-profit organization that supports Sister Rosemary and other humanitarian efforts in Africa.
