About the Author

Born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, I began my music career swinging on the backyard swing. Words and music just seemed to flow together. I later studied voice and sang in church and school functions. Singing was all I ever really thought of doing. Well, almost all! My love for a family took me on a long detour, but the love of music was never far behind. My life has taken me from Cincinnati to California and in 1977 to the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. You will notice that the songs included in this book were all written in the 90's. I know I was a busy wife and mother back then, but somehow the Lord gave me songs that I could never forget. Sorry, it has taken me so long to bring them to you. I thank God for His love and kindness...and for teaching me patience. He has really been working on that for a LONG time. God bless you and I hope you enjoy these songs as much as I have. Believe me, they are from the heart because that is the only way I know how to write them. That is the way the Lord has given them to me. Sincerely with Love to each of you, Clare Reed.
