Tamara Passey was born and raised in Massachusetts around a
large family, one that has served as inspiration for most of her writing. She
was named Arizona Young Mother of the Year in 2013 and contributes marriage and
family articles to FamilyShare.com. She loves most creative endeavors and when
she isn't writing or re-writing, you can find her baking or cross-stitching or
walking--though not all at the same time. She lives with her husband and three
children in Arizona. Other titles by Tamara include The Christmas Tree Keeper:
A Novel, and Mothering through the Whirlwind, a short memoir.

Four seasons. That’s how long Angela Donovan hoped to know Mark Shafer before they married. But less than a year later, she still fears that she’s repeating the mistake of a failed relationship.
As Christmas approaches, she senses Mark’s plans for a proposal, and wonders if she can learn to trust again. Mark has learned all there is to know about the Shafer miracle trees—or so he thinks.
Papa reveals secrets about the trees’ matchmaking power just as a highway expansion threatens to destroy the family legacy. Mark is determined to save the farm, and the promise of love stirring in the branches of the Shafer miracle trees. Heartwarming and engaging,
The Tree Keeper’s Promise captures the warmth and wonder of the holiday season.
Q & A with the Author:
1. Describe
yourself in 50 words or less.
I can
write a novel, but ask me to describe myself, and I get writer’s block. I’ve
lived as many years in the southwest as I have in the northeast. Both places
are dear to me. Also, I love to be creative for the joy it brings.
2. What
do you love most in the world?
My
family.
3. What
do you fear most?
Scorpions.
4. What
is your largest unfulfilled dream, and what are you doing to reach it?
Finishing
my degree. What am I doing to reach it? Deciding my major.
5. What
is the hardest thing you've ever done?
Motherhood
(and still doing it).
6. Now
that we've gotten to know each other, tell me a story. It can be long or short.
From your childhood or last week. Funny, sad, or somewhere in between. Just
make sure it's yours. What's your story?
Once upon
a time there was a little girl who wanted to write books so she could share
stories with her friends. But every time she would visit the library, or read a
great book, she would get the idea that she wasn’t smart enough to write her
own. Until she was grown and became a mom and was taking care of her daughter
who had been sick for several days—during a sleepless night, she had an
idea—miracle Christmas trees. She was so excited about the story, she didn’t
stop to doubt herself. And The Christmas Tree Keeper was born!
