Dorcas Smucker
I am a Mennonite housewife, married to Paul, mother of six. We live in a 95-year-old farmhouse in Oregon's Willamette Valley.
I am also an author, columnist, and speaker.
Letter from Harrisburg and Life in the Shoe
My once-month column in the Eugene, Oregon, Register-Guard is called Letter from Harrisburg. I write simple, nostalgic essays about family life and living in the country.

I also have a blog called Life in the Shoe where you can find updates, descriptions of daily life at our house, and almost always a quote of the day.
