Later, his own mission began in Honduras and ended in Alabama (due to a bone tumor). He played water polo and volleyball in college, during which time he met his wife, Megan, as they worked as EFY counselors; the two were married in the San Diego Temple and have four children. Eric’s current assignment is writing church curriculum in addition to being a Seminary Principal; in the summertime, he directs at EFY and speaks at BYU Education Week. Eric loves cooking for people, photography, remote controls, ice cream and iPhones. And, on a side note, he loves chocolate more than most women do. Most of all, he loves teaching and being with valiant Latter-day Saints.

Tarrah has loved writing stories since she was a child growing up in the small towns of Hyrum & Tremonton, Utah. She earned her associate degree from Ricks College and her bachelor of science in education from Utah State University. Tarrah taught 1st grade for a few years and then stayed home after her first child was born and decided to start writing books. Tarrah currently lives in Arizona with her husband and five young children. She loves to travel with her husband, and many of her story ideas have come from seeing ancient castles and architecture around the world. Some of her adventures have taken her to Paris, London, Rome, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic, South Korea, Thailand, Jamaica, Costa Rica, Mexico, Israel, Jordan, and Egypt. When not writing, Tarrah teaches preschool and enjoys reading, traveling, spending time with her family, and playing the piano… when she gets a spare minute (which is rare ;). Tarrah has four published novels in her Young Adult Princess Chronicles series, and her non-fiction book, <i id="m_7289997504804630819yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1515951322969_10444" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">T</i><i id="m_7289997504804630819yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1515951322969_10445" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">he Book of Real Beauty for LDS Girls, </i>was just released in September. Tarrah has been speaking to youth groups about the importance of finding their real beauty and how being kind and following the Gospel makes them the most beautiful they could ever imagine.</div>

What a great real, heartfelt book. Life throws us so many challenges, and many times people don't know the extent of what someone is really going through. I loved the family support and the reality of what happens. I was immersed in this family's story.Tarrahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05938065366472145414noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195072175835610886.post-73688152903998055622017-07-29T20:10:00.000-07:002017-07-30T23:21:12.145-07:00BYU-I Education Week 2017<span style="background-color: #ffffe5; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 14.49px;">What a great experience being back at my old stomping grounds (Ricks College) and being able to be on the opposite spectrum and teach at Education Week at BYU-I.

<br />
I only read the story by Nikki Trionfo, and it was sweet and wonderful. I love fast, quick reads that leave me feeling happy. That's the reason why I read - to escape reality and get a slice of happiness for a small moment. Plus this book was set in New York. I love New York! Thank you for writing a clean, fun story. ;)<br />
