The small town where Rachel Evans and her husband are raising two daughters is close to Toronto's theaters and shopping yet still near to forests and fields where the very active family loves to mountain bike, hike, and ski. When not outdoors, Rachel likes to read historical novels and contemporary literature. After working for the local school board and a stint as a piano teacher, she finds writing far more exciting. An avid gardener, Rachel maintains a tangled garden at her northern cottage and believes flowers, indoors and out, are an essential part of life.
