A life-long resident of the Texas Panhandle, Rebecca Crownover grew up in Sunray, Texas, a small farming community. Her grandfather was a farmer and through junior high and high school years, she worked on the farm driving tractors and irrigating crops through row water irrigation.
Rebecca attended Texas Tech University and then moved off to the big city of Dallas, taking a job traveling around the world as a technology consultant. In 2003, she moved back to the Texas Panhandle marrying Adam, a native to Dumas and a farmer. They had a beautiful little girl in 2007.
Tragedy struck in 2009 when Adam passed away from a head injury incurred in an ATV accident. It was not only a loss to Rebecca and her daughter, but also a big loss to the their family farming business.
Searching for guidance, Rebecca attempted to find a book that could help her daughter understand the loss of her dad. When she was unable to find a book written at her daughter's level of understanding, she decided to write her own children's book. The result was My Daddy Is In Heaven With Jesus, an award winning children's book that has helped a number of children around the world find comfort in a time of loss.
With her expertise and knowledge of the farm, she has also started a new revolution of children's books and brand called, Texas Farm Girl. The books aim to entertain, educate, and inspire children through farming.
As a single mom and only parent, Rebecca has found her life to be a true blessing. Tragedy in her life has only spawned a deeper appreciation for it. Life is so precious and if she can be an inspiration of strength to others through her experiences, then her life purpose is being fulfilled.
