Susan Merrill is a wife, mother of five, director of iMOM.com, want-to-be blogger, author of “The Passionate Mom,” (releasing April 2013, Thomas Nelson), and the very imperfect, Merrill family manager. She loves to analyze life, ponder possibilities, and pray for opportunity. She truly believes that all things are possible if one is willing to persevere through trials, seek the truth, and boldly embrace new and unique solutions. That belief has led her down some interesting parenting paths including adopting two older children the exact ages of two of her biological children, the delicate diplomacy of living with diverse personalities, exploring and experiencing every type of school imaginable for every type of child, and parenting special needs in our not so special-need oriented world. Susan lives in Tampa, Florida with her handsome hubby, author and President of Family First, Mark Merrill, and two, or depending on the day, up to five of her children ages 16 – 22. On those days, she loves having a valid excuse to ditch all of her responsibilities to run a bed and breakfast / Laundromat for college students.
