If it is quiet enough to hear cricket-song, and dark enough to see the Milky Way, you must be near where Tara lives. Tara Shoemaker Holdren writes poetry and worship music, creates pottery and paintings, hikes, bikes, and drags her husband and college-aged sons along on her adventures whenever possible. She has been the worship leader at her church for over 15 years, and was active in youth ministries. Published in 2020, her book Sing Out is a testimony to inspire young women dealing with eating disorders and depression, encouraging them to speak out in faith and let the Holy Spirit do the rest. Her current manuscript, Good Reasons: Healing and Thru-Hiking on the Appalachian Trail tells the story of Steve Wright who hiked the trail in 2023 to find his way back to God and back to sanity after losing his wife to breast cancer. Although Tara taught high school and college level English for 15 years, Tara now teaches art at Hughesville High School. Her collection of poetry, Circumnavigation, was published in 2008. You can find her author website at tarashoemakerholdren.com, her on-line portfolio at madetoblessyou.com, and her original worship music at soundcloud.com/TLSHoldren and on any major streaming service.…If it is quiet enough to hear cricket-song, and dark enough to see the Milky Way, you must be near where Tara lives.
