Hearth & Story

Welcome to Hearth & Story—where language arts is complete, rigorous, secular, affordable, and gorgeous.
​
I'm Lindsey Sodano, the creator of Hearth & Story, and a homeschool mom, educator, and longtime curriculum writer. Like so many families, I spent my oldest child’s entire homeschool career searching for a language arts program that truly checked all the boxes: something academically strong, truly secular, thoughtfully designed, and easy to use without costing a fortune. When I couldn’t find it, I decided to build it.
​
After exploring dozens of programs—both secular and otherwise—I realized how much our community needed a better option. I envisioned a curriculum that offered real academic rigor but still felt beautiful, joyful, and doable for busy homeschoolers. Hearth & Story is the result: a complete, print-and-go language arts program that supports deep learning and makes your homeschool days a little brighter.
​
Before founding Hearth & Story, I also authored two volumes of the History Quest series, bringing high-quality secular history resources to the homeschool world. Hearth & Story builds on that same commitment, offering families a refreshing, thoughtful, and joyful approach to language arts.
​
I’m so glad you’re here. Whether you're planning your first year or looking for something better for the next, I invite you to explore everything Hearth & Story has to offer. Welcome to a new chapter in the art of learning. Welcome to Hearth & Story.
