WELCOME, STORY LOVERS!
I am Lucinda. Once, long ago, I determined to write honestly about life as I knew it. I write about real people, their struggles, dreams, and fears from my vantage point as a plain Mennonite. I like to help people see others’ perspectives.
If you are a truth lover, a story lover, a life lover, this site is for you.
Books and Articles
“Lucinda J. Kinsinger is the kind of writer readers dream of: engaging, literary, openhearted. You don’t know how much you wanted a voice like hers until you read it.”
~ Lorilee Craker, New York Times bestselling author
“Lucinda Kinsinger is honest and perceptive, and connects with the reader on many levels. She is unafraid to address topics that are both difficult and complex, especially in the context of Mennonite culture.”
~Katrina Hoover Lee, author of From the White House to the Amish
I call my blog “Properties of Light” because my name, Lucinda, means Light Bringer. I am a searcher, a questioner, a seeker of truth, and don’t claim to have answers to many of my own questions … still, I believe in Light. I believe in Jesus as the source and person of Light. I hope the way I ask my questions and the way I live my life can help to bring light into your life and into dark corners of the world.
I explore many things on my blog. Here are a few of my favorite posts.

Meet My Business Partner
Ivan wears many hats: husband, farmer, lover, construction manager, daddy, trucker, friend. God must have brought us together knowing I needed someone with a big heart and a nose for business to help me in my writing career. As business manger, Ivan provides insight for financial decisions and an impetus to stay motivated in the everyday tasks of writing.
