Jane Tucker writes from her home in suburban Kansas City. Her Midwestern roots inspire the stories she tells, both in her books and on her blog, Postcards from the Heartland. In the author’s words: “The Lottie Braun series celebrates the history and people of Iowa, where I attended college. Lottie’s big extended family was inspired by the close-knit clan I married into, and her journey to faith reflects my own trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. When I travel around the Midwest, I meet hard-working, fun-loving, problem-solving people. I write for and about them.”
