Jennie Cesario lives and writes in Long Island, New York, where she shares a home with her husband and their college-age twins. She enjoys exploring connections in life and literature and illumining both in the searchlight of faith. Although trained in journalism, her writerly personality tends toward an intimate voice and a lyrical style, and she returns repeatedly to themes of empathy, transcendence, and vulnerability in her work. Her writing has appeared at Fathom Magazine, The Perennial Gen, and The Ginosko Literary Journal. Roam her blog archives at dappledthoughts.com.
