RaRa Schlitt lives in Maryville, TN with her husband Tom, who is a pediatric physical therapist. Together they have had five children, two of whom are in college, one in high school, and another in intermediate school. Their third child died in infancy and the story of his blessing to their family is written in the children’s story book Robert Nathaniel’s Tree. RaRa has also written two other children’s books, Grandmother’s Glasses and Grandfather’s Keys. RaRa is also a physical therapist and volunteers part time teaching and doing art projects in her community. RaRa gives thanks for each brand new day.
