Hearth & Story

Welcome to Hearth & Story

​

Delightfully Cozy. Seriously Academic.

​

I’m Lindsey Sodano, creator and author of Hearth & Story. I’m an educator, author, curriculum writer, and researcher with an undergraduate background in English and education and a master’s degree in communication with a specialization in digital design. I’m also a long-time homeschool mom.

​

For years, I searched for a homeschool language arts program that offered everything I wanted in one place: real academic rigor, rich literature, complete instruction, thoughtful design, and lessons that were actually enjoyable to use. I also wanted something secular, affordable, and practical, because as a medical mom, I just didn’t have hours to spend assembling a language arts program from multiple sources.

 

Eventually, I realized the curriculum I was looking for didn’t exist. So I created it.

​

Hearth & Story is built around a simple idea: homeschoolers shouldn’t have to choose between warmth and academic substance. A curriculum can be cozy, joyful, and inviting while still asking children to think deeply, write carefully, read challenging literature, and grow into strong writers.

​

Before creating Hearth & Story, I authored two volumes of the History Quest series, helping bring secular history curriculum to homeschool families. Hearth & Story grew from that same commitment to thoughtful, academically serious curriculum.

​

Whether you’re beginning your first year of homeschooling or simply looking for language arts that feels like a better fit, we’re glad you found us.
