Corky reads at her Book Launch Party held at Church of the Ascension, an Episcopal church in Lakewood, Ohio, which was the inspiration for the novel's fictional Grace Church.

Corky Thacker is a successful professional writer whose work has appeared in newspapers, international trade publications, and on the radio. Her boutique marketing communications agency served business-to-business and technical clients for twenty years prior to her retirement. Family of Choice: Raising Each Other draws on her three decades of experience in the recovery community as well as her interest in roses and vintage homes (the first garden she created was featured in This Old House magazine). Corky and her husband grow more than three hundred roses at their home in Cleveland, Ohio. This is her first novel.
