Biographie de Mary Beth Brace

About the authorMary Beth Brace was born Gladwin, Michigan on a working farm. There was a wide variety of animals to care for: bunnies, cats, dogs, cows, sheep, pigs, horses, and an array of fowl. (Horses were the best!). She attended Gladwin public schools and so much wanted to attend the Christian school, but her Pa said no. He was going to put her through that public school on his knees, praying.
During her youth she loved the horses and went through the 4-H Horse Program (age 8 to 18) and hung out with her horse crazy girlfriends on the weekends and a huge part of summers. She learned how to play her brother's guitar in 3rd grade. When her brother got another guitar, he gave her his old one. and then she took it where ever she went. She loved John Denver songs and wore out his song book. She sang specials in her local church growing up.
One Sunday night, as young teen, she got a phone call after church. An elderly lady just called to say she loved the song Mary Beth had written and that God would use her talents for sure someday. Writing and drawing have always been a passion. She grew up reading The Reader's Digest with her mother. It was her mother that gave her a love of poetry. Her mother had several poems memorized, one being "And what is so rare as a day in June?".
When her first child was born she came across The Writer's Market. She has been hooked on writing children's stories ever since and continues to learn through self study and various courses, classes and conferences.
