After purchasing and restoring an historic home in Franklin , Tennessee several years ago, Madelaine  found herself in a divorce situation. This was one of the darkest times in her life and a place where she truly learned to lean on the Lord . That point was the birthing place of a heart for hurting women particularly concerning marriage. Today her home is sometimes used as a retreat  for various reasons and is a regular meeting place for friends that might want to come to the country for a respite . 

       

       Madelaine has three grown children and two adorable grandchildren. Among other activities , she is active in her church and community Bible studies.  Madelaine has a heart for women and a heart for serving the Lord.
