Tracie AdamsTracie Adams, a retired educator and playwright, lives on a farm in rural Virginia with her husband and two writing buddies who look a lot like dachshunds. Her debut book, Our Lives in Pieces, is a collection of essays with the universal theme of fining beauty in brokenness. Her second essay collection, Not Finished Yet, releases in 2026. Her work has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net, longlisted for Wigleaf Top 50, and published online and in print editions of over a hundred literary journals. She writes to find meaning in the suffering and the joy of the human experience. Recurring topics in her writing are addiction, motherhood, adoption, grief, and family. While most of her work is not explicitly Christian in content, her faith in Jesus is the gold thread woven through every word she writes. When she is not writing or reading, she can be found birdwatching, enjoying a playlist of 80's music on her porch, or being chased by five short people who call her Glamma. Read More Read Less
