Hey! Hey! Hey! My name is Kelly Byrd. I’m a middle-grade author by choice, a writer by discipline, home-grown chef, and amateur gardener. I live in Nashville, Tennessee with my husband and two cute-as-buttons rescue pups. I am just tickled pink that you are here. The Far From Home series is about growing up, finding your voice, and rescuing the Everything. I hope you’ll go along with Mary on this journey as she travels Far From Home.
