I was born in Wichita, KS and grew up in Kansas City. (Go Chiefs)

I became a Christian in 1975 after the death of my three-year-old daughter. My testimony will be in my upcoming book "For the Love of God: A Memoir."

I raised four children during the 80s and 90s, and I home schooled them during a time when parents could go to jail for removing their kids from public schools.

Thanks for your question! I wanted it to be interesting to the reader, and (of course) it had to be completely true. So, I decided to write it as if it were fiction: scenes, dialogue, sensory details, etc. For a year, I read a lot of books on how to write fiction, and it took another year to plan it out scene by scene, placement of plot points, etc. Then, I spent the last year actually writing it and getting it in front of editors. I had a hard time because my nonfiction editor didn't know a thing about fiction format, and fiction editors wanted to completely revamp the whole thing. Finally, I had a few beta readers read it, and I got a lot of good feedback along with some very helpful tips. All that to say it took me about three years. Thanks for asking!(less)
