The Author
Tina Steele Penn
Raised in a home with a sibling with very challenging needs, Tina grew up watching her parents sacrifice their entire lives — moving constantly from place to place, seeking the best care for their children.
She learned from them how to survive in all circumstances, how to depend on her faith in the midst of difficulties, and how to look to the future — creatively. Those lessons run all through Perdita: a family that will not stop searching, friends who hold fast when holding fast costs something, and hope that outlasts the dark.
In college Tina studied Voice, Visual Art and Journalism, and then settled into life as a mother of three children, who are now adults and all following their own quests — leaving her once again free to follow her dreams.
Tina is a dreamer at heart. She hopes to take her listener with her on her excursions into new places, whether it be into the painting, or rising above the world in song, or finding new realms in the spoken and written word.
"Many of us are lost, or have lost all that matters to us. The secret is in believing."
