Marilyn Taggart Hadd spent 28 years as an educator of students in public education in Idaho, New Jersey, and Nebraska. Currently, Marilyn and her husband Jerry are serving as humanitarian missionaries in the Middle East Africa North area in Morocco. Prior to that they taught English to university students in Chengdu and Beijing, China, for three years as part of BYU China Teachers. They make their home on a small hobby farm near Bear Lake in southeastern Idaho where they raise weeds, rocks, and occasionally something edible. Three adult children, their spouses, and 12 grandchildren are regularly drafted in farm projects. Marilyn is an incurable reader, avid knitter, gardener, and lover of dogs. She and her husband love to read aloud to each other, feed guests, hike in the Tetons, and embrace adventures abroad. She documents a fraction of all this on her blog at www.madhadder.blogspot.com
