Connecting Hearts and Conversations: The Family of Authors
Clockwise from bottom left: Dr. Helen McIntosh, Calyn Daniel, William Daniel, & Blythe Daniel

A Family of Authors

Though our family didn’t plan on writing together, we are three generations looking at life, love, and laughter in our unique ways. We’ve had conversations with each other to better understand each other and our family dynamics and the roles we play, and we simply want to encourage others as we’ve learned to listen, connect, love and laugh in deeper ways.

Blythe Daniel is the head chef in the kitchen, stirring up ideas. Her mom, Helen McIntosh, provides the right ingredients with years of experience helping others draw closer to each other. Calyn Daniel is our chief recipe collector! She knows what works and has a knack for saying things just like they are – no fluff. Her twin William Daniel is our chief taste tester and helps our words taste better when he says “that could sound like this”. Together, we bring sentiments to season your conversations with grace.

“If you have ever thought, ‘I wish I knew how to really talk to my mom, to my daughter,’ Mended will be a gift. So often we allow years to pass, stuck in misunderstanding and brokenness simply because we don’t know what to do or what to say. Mended will give you a place to begin.”
Sheila Walsh, author of It’s Okay Not To Be Okay
“Never again will you have to buy your mom a greeting card that says, ‘I know I don’t tell you enough how much I love you…’. I Love You, Mom! helps you express love, encouragement, exhortation, and kindness to the one who loved you first. This mother-daughter duo have written a beautiful book to help us express exactly what makes our mama’s so special.”
Amy Lively, author of How to Love Your Neighbor Without Being Weird
