Olive Chan

Olive is an artsy optimist who grew up in Toronto as an only child. Her favourite place in the whole wide world is her home, partly because she gets to share it with her husband, Tim and daughter, Alena. As a recovering perfectionist, she aspires to be a conduit of grace, rest and beauty in this hurried and chaotic world.

She and her husband released their first book, "Fight With Me: How We Learned to be Married", in October 2012. Since then, the book has been downloaded by over 4000 people and has made it to the Top 100 Amazon Books List and was #1 on Amazon's Top Marriage Books List. Their second book is titled, "Then Came the Baby: The Wonder, Mayhem, and Hilarity of Our First Year as Parents".

Olive works as a writer. She and Tim blog together about thoughtful marriage, parenting, and life at www.timandolive.com. Olive has been a contributor to Converge Magazine, SheLoves Magazine, and Hello VanCity.
