Additionally, as part of your charitable giving during the holiday season (and beyond), especially if you live or work in Davidson County, TN, please consider Ashley’s literary non-profit of choice, Book’Em! Book’em’s mission is to create a more literate Nashville and ignite children’s passion for reading through book ownership and enthusiastic volunteers.
