Cheryl Esper Balcom is a reader, writer, and poet who lives with her husband, Jim, on five acres in southwest Michigan, where she sees God's grace out every window. She writes to help readers find that same grace in every word — in Scripture, in story, and in the quiet, ordinary moments that sometimes turn upside down. Cheryl reads voraciously, walks enthusiastically, and is kept humble and laughing by two kittens named Gordie and Ramona, who have absolutely no concern for her deadlines.
