Patty Slack is a Northwest girl, born and bred, who has always fostered an interest in and affinity for other places and other peoples. She's lived in four states and three countries, learned three foreign languages, and will never see enough of the world to satisfy her travel bug. Several of Patty's manuscripts have gone to the semi-final or final round in the ACFW Genesis Contest for novels. Closing the Gap was one of them. Patty, her husband, and their three daughters make their home in the Northwest.
