Catherine Ulrich Brakefield is an ardent receiver of Christ’s rejuvenating love, as well as a hopeless romantic and patriot. She skillfully intertwines these elements into her writing, and enjoys horseback riding, swimming, camping, and traveling the byroads across America.
“I love history. I have written two historical picture books to read like stories, told by different generations of people who lived in the same community. This type of research enabled me to feel Lincoln, Grant, and Lee were just ordinary people like you and me.”
