About Jessi Hansen

Raised in sunny San Diego, Jessi Hansen followed love to small-town Oklahoma—where the sky is big, the storms are dramatic, and family is everything. She spends her days chasing little feet, tending to backyard chickens, and stealing quiet moments to write. Jessi crafts heartfelt stories about spirited heroines and the men who see them clearly—books about resilience, family, and the kind of endings that make you believe in second chances.
