Nan has been fortunate to always work part time… giving her daily opportunities for reading and gardening. She enjoys novels, especially classic tragedies that reveal the human condition and our need for grace. Her favorites include Tess of the d’Urbervilles, Light in August, and Giants in the Earth. The writings of Bonhoeffer, Lewis, Henri Nouwen, and the Apostle Paul have been the most formative throughout her faith journey. She and her husband David, a Professor of American History, have two sons in college and a daughter in high school. They make their home in Jackson, Tennessee where the growing season lasts for nine months of the year.
