Welcome!
I should tell you right off that I'm not Cary Grant's daughter, although we have the same name. (I get a fair amount of email for the much more fancy and famous JG. She seems lovely, and who doesn't adore her father? If you're looking for her, however, you've come to the wrong place. Sorry!)
Click around for a sec...especially if midlife, marriage, spirituality, children's literature, parenting, adoption, or any combination of the above is of interest to you. Also, I welcome you to subscribe and receive readings this fall from my 365-daybook Wholehearted Living. They're short, free, and cover topics related to reflection, risk, and rest. (For more on that, click here.)
I'm a writer, editor, and speaker in the Chicago area. I've written six books and contributed to several more. (You can read a more official bio here.) Earlier this year, I had two new books published: a memoir about midlife and a picture book about spiritual curiosity. I'm currently at work on a few new books for children, and this helps me justify growing my picture book library. Recent favorites include Spork and Jabari Jumps. Any I shouldn't miss? Tell me!
What else? I'm an Episcopalian, dog-lover, and a fan of independent bookstores, foodie podcasts, people who laugh easily, gender equality, and girls' education. I’m a voracious reader, and I've served as a judge for the Christy Awards multiple times. I'm also a mother of four (ages 15, 17, 19, and 21), and wife, of 29 years, to a deeply creative and good-hearted husband. (See Chapter 16, "Lucky in Love," in my new book for a closer look at the profound joys and trickiness of long marriages.)
Thanks for stopping by!

"Jennifer Grant is fiercely tender, funny, passionate about family, faithful, and hungry for justice.
Read this book!" Becca Stevens, founder of Thistle Farms and a top ten 2016 CNN Hero - "It's rare to read someone who is as honest as Jennifer Grant is. In a time that's full to overflowing with easy, posturing confessions,
this is a necessary, awakening memoir." Jon M. Sweeney, coauthor of Mixed-Up Love and editor of Phyllis Tickle: Essential Spiritual Writings - "Jennifer Grant manages to convey the trials of midlife with both realism and hope. This memoir, unexpectedly, helped me look forward to experiencing my forties and fifties."
