Christine Cobb Merrick was born and raised in the Salt Lake Valley. She graduated from Skyline High School and attended the University of Utah and Brigham Young University. In 1970 she married Randy Guy Merrick and has been a stay-at-home mom ever since. They are the parents of nine children and to date have twenty grandchildren. Over the years they have taken in several teens needing a temporary home. Each was welcomed as part of the Merrick family, whether their stay was a few months or several years. In 1973 the family moved to Denver, Colorado, and they resided there for seventeen years. They have lived in South Jordan since moving back to Utah in 1990. Chris is a compulsive journal keeper and in the past twenty-six years has written more than 4400 pages. It is said that nothing helps your writing skills more than just the practice of writing, and this she can attest to. Her favorite Church callings have always involved teaching. She has always loved to tell a story, and writing this book has allowed her to do both.
