Hey, Everyone! I'm Jessie Gussman and I write love stories.

I guess some people think that a writer's life is glamorous. Especially a romance writer.

This book was written to disabuse that notion.

I'm kidding. That's not the purpose of this book, although it's a definite effect.

It's true that I'm a USA Today bestselling author, which, I have to admit, surprises me as much as anyone.

My husband and I also own a trucking company. We have two twenty thousand bird free-range laying houses (our eggs are probably in your grocery store!), raise grass-fed beef cattle, homeschool our kids and are on a first-name basis with the Game Warden and the state police (mostly because of the kids and not really my husband).

I frequently cook for strangers, occasionally hide from my family and own more fire extinguishers than the average person (for good reason).

Sometimes, when I sit down at my computer, instead of writing the next chapter in my latest romance, I write about my life.

Sometimes it's fun. Sometimes funny. Sometimes it's heartbreaking and sometimes you just see life through the eyes of a farmer, growing older every day and maybe just a little wiser.

We do a lot of laughing, some crying and every day is a learning experience wrapped in the love of God and held in His hand.
That's what I share with you in this book.

Thanks so much for spending some time with me today!

Love,

Jessie

An absolute treat." - Janalyn
