Despite her dyslexia, Debbie Macomber always wanted to be a writer. As a stay-at-home mother with four children, she spent five years writing books at her kitchen table until finally one was accepted by Sillhouette. Now, many books later and a worldwide bestseller, she and her husband live in Port Orchard, Washington, where her husband is building his own airplane. She also owns a yarn and knitting shop called A Good Yarn.
