About the Author

Debbie Macomber is a major international bestselling author, and has sold over 51 million books worldwide.   When Debbie first decided to write a novel, people called her a hopeless dreamer. She had only a high school degree and was dyslexic. She was also the very young mother of four active children. No one believed she had what it took to write a book—except Debbie. She eventually saved enough money to rent an old typewriter, and every night when the children were asleep, she would sit down to write.   Today, Debbie is the internationally acclaimed author of more than 100 novels and has sold over 60 million copies. Popular around the globe, she receives approximately three thousand letters from readers every month. And she responds personally to each one. She lives with her husband in Port Orchard, Washington. Their children are grown and she is a proud grandmother.   Author photo © Nina Subin Photography More books by this author Author 'Like for Like' recommendation
