About Tobeyhouse Books

Stories rooted in everyday life, meaningful moments, and growth.

Tobeyhouse Books grew from a love of stories, family, and the everyday experiences that shape us as we grow.

J.R. Mills creates books that help in navigating new experiences, building confidence, growing in courage and wisdom, and seeing the meaningful moments tucked into ordinary life.

The name Tobeyhouse Books honors Tobey, our family's beloved dog. His name, meaning “God is good,” suited a faithful companion who was by our side as we raised our children. Tobey was always nearby--including, it seemed, whenever there was a good book to enjoy!

His name became a fitting home for stories created to share the goodness of God in life's joyful, challenging, continual moments of new growth.
