Tracie Adams
|
Tracie 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 finding beauty in brokenness. Her work has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize. Her flash essays and stories are featured online and in print editions of over seventy literary journals and anthologies, including Cleaver Magazine, Fictive Dream, SoFloPoJo, BULL, Epistemic Lit, and others. 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. She considers her greatest accomplishment to be raising four children who have taught her the most valuable lessons in life. 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.
