Born in our nation’s capitol and married at nineteen, Jane and her husband then joined the military but only enlisted six years. Jane homeschools their five children and prefers reading to cleaning house. Her love language is food, so it is fortunate that her husband is such a great cook.

She is thankful that God was faithful to send a Messiah like he said he would and believes that his name is Jesus. Faith in him has equipped her as she has gone, complaining and learning, through the challenges and difficulties of life.

She likes old books and new books and big coffee table books, even though she’s never put them on her coffee table. Among her 4,000+ books are collections of illustrated ABC books; Abraham Lincoln, reconstruction, and civil rights books; Tomie DePaola’s books; and (some of) the Landmarks, among others.
