Sarah Hanks has spent the last eight years delightfully merging her two main passions-writing and equipping children-by writing a variety of Sunday school curricula for churches in her community. She wrote her first novel when she was seventeen and continued to write fiction "on the side" until recently deciding to pursue writing professionally. She and her husband have eight children of their own, a couple of whom seem to have inherited their mother’s love for playing with words and crafting stories. Though Sarah dreams of a cabin by the beach, the family of ten lives jammed together in beautiful chaos in a small cottage in St. Louis, Missouri. She buys ear plugs in bulk.
