Shawn Kilgarin has always been a lover of books, prayer, and art. She also previously managed a Catholic book store from 2014 to 2020. She still owns Jacob's Well Inspirational Books and Gifts in Shreveport, although she retired from the daily management of the store in 2020. She still, however, takes an active interest in promoting laminated prayer cards. Her current project is a 75-piece Roman Catholic collection, which features Fratelli Bonella's artwork along with an appropriate prayer.
