When she’s not at her desk with a cup of coffee and a dog curled at her feet, Tara enjoys quilting, gardening, browsing antique shops, and spending time on her front porch with family and friends. Her beloved dogs, Delilah and Daisy, and her cats, Queen Hazel and Kitty, are never far from her side.

If you enjoy stories that feel like a warm hug, where small towns shine, and love always finds its way home, Tara Baisden’s books are sure to become favorites on your shelf.
