Tricia Purrier Books

About Tricia Purrier

A wife of 20 years and mom to two teenagers, Tricia finds inspiration in the everyday beauty of family life and the deep roots of her rural upbringing. Raised on a farm in small-town Minnesota, her childhood was filled with adventure—canoeing the St. Croix River, exploring the woods with her brothers, and hunting for eggs and kittens in the hay barn.

Now living in a close-knit southern Minnesota community, she works with children at a local preschool, nurturing curiosity, kindness, and creativity every day. She is the daughter of loving parents who’ve been married for over 63 years, and she strives to emulate the faithfulness, humor, and enduring love that define their remarkable bond.

A University of Wisconsin–Stout graduate with a background in retail management and real estate, Tricia now channels her love for storytelling, nature, and heartfelt connection into her writing. When she’s not working with children or creating something new, she’s road-tripping with her family, reading a favorite book, or simply soaking in the wonder of the outdoors.
