THE MAN BEHIND THE STORY
Meet Tim Scharping
For years, Tim heard the same thing from friends and family and anyone who knew the story. The way he met Dana, their improbable beginning, their deep devotion, and the life they built together belonged in a book.
After her diagnosis, that gentle encouragement became something else entirely. It became a calling. Tim realized he was not only writing a story. He was preserving the heartbeat of the woman who shaped his world and the journey that changed his family forever.
Originally from Toronto, Tim now lives in Kansas City with his wife and two daughters.
