Amanda Lauer is on the #ReadingWithYourKids #Podcast to celebrate her new  #YoungAdult #Novel "Royal and Ancient." Amanda talks about her passion for writing in the young adult genre, focusing on clean and sweet romances set in historic settings. Amanda's latest book, "Royal and Ancient," is a time travel tale that takes place in the year 1691 in the highlands of Scotland. The story follows a 17-year-old girl from modern-day America who is struck by lightning during a golf outing and transported back in time. She finds herself surrounded by Scottish clans and becomes entangled in their lives, including their hidden practice of Catholicism, which was banned during that era. The conversation highlights the importance of discussing history, faith, and cultural differences with young readers. Amanda also shares her love for rich and antique language in historical fiction and encourages parents to read and discuss books with their teenagers. She emphasizes the value of open communication and finding common ground, even with different viewpoints.
