Tracee Gleichner has had a love of books since a young age. She is a staff member and contributor for Affaire de Couer as well as editor for Fallen Angel Reviews and Enchanting Reviews. Tracee also has extensive experience as a book reviewer and interviewer, as well as dabbling in writing herself. You can visit her website at Review From Here. Being able to stay home with her two young daughters has allowed her to devote time to a cause that is near and dear to her heart – no pun intended. Tracee’s oldest daughter Grace was born with multiple congenital heart defects so she devotes a lot of her time to helping to raise awareness for CHD’s. When not working or reading she enjoys spending time with her husband and young daughters, cooking, cross stitching, and going to estate sales looking for antiques. You can email her here!
