STRUCTURED LITERACY

Welcome!
I am Leslie Tally. I have dedicated my professional career entirely to the world of literacy. As an elementary educator, I earned recognition as the 2021 Mississippi Teacher of the Year for my passion for literacy instruction and advocacy. Currently, I am the founder of TallyTales Literacy, LLC. Through this business, I provide literacy support, particularly to individuals with dyslexia and their families, throughout my community in Northeast Mississippi.
My debut novel, Safely Kept, showcased my ability to create a suspenseful story of life, love, and faith. The sequel, Until We’re Perfect, is the second installment in a series of family legacies that stand the test of time. I hope to continue writing inspirational stories of faith that might encourage others along their own life journeys.

Safely Kept
Two generations. One family. Countless secrets. Lizzie Beth Thompson longs to preserve her childhood memories with her grandparents. What she doesn’t know is that the reality of their love story is far different than her childhood perception allowed. Will she discover the truth about her grandparents’ relationship —and how it endured— before time erases them altogether? This breathtaking story reveals a single thread of faith, woven into the tapestry of one family’s very messy and, at times criminal, legacy.
Until We're Perfect
Seven years ago, Lizzie Beth and Holt were the perfect high school sweethearts. Until a scandal wreaked havoc on their relationship. Now, Lizzie Beth finds herself struggling to escape the past in every aspect of her life. She receives an unexpected inheritance from her grandparents that could be a blessing—if it wasn’t tainted blood money, of course. Also, Holt is determined to keep a presence in her life, regardless of how many times she pushes him away.
The past and the present collide as Lizzie Beth encounters one trial after another. Even if she finds her way back to Holt, will he be able to come back to her?
