As a girl, Marissa was forever getting notes sent home from teachers about reading novels during class, and she still would rather read a good book than do just about anything else.
She now lives in a small town in the Snoqualmie Valley with her husband, six children, and heaps of books.
You can also visit Marissa at Prayers of the Faithful where she posts spiritual reflections.
