C R Bard

Raised as a preacher’s kid and the youngest of five children, I grew up surrounded by faith, storytelling, and the spirit of service as my parents planted churches across the United States and Puerto Rico. Life eventually brought me to rural Montana, where I spent 30 years building a family, raising three daughters, running a log home business and working on the farm alongside my husband. Only later in life did I fully embrace my love for writing. Through poetry, I share reflections on faith, family, loss, hope and redemption.
