Barbara Hartl
Nested in the serene landscapes of Northern Michigan, I am a creative writer whose life is as rich in stories as it is in challenges. Living in a small town, I find inspiration in the quiet, everyday moments that often go unnoticed. My world is beautifully complex, shaped by the joys and trials of raising three incredible teenagers and my personal journey with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
Born with CMT, I've learned to navigate life's twists and turns with resilience and a sense of humor, qualities that infuse my writing. My work often explores the themes of overcoming adversity, finding beauty in imperfection, and the unbreakable strength of the human spirit.
