Jennifer Glancy (Goin)
Jennifer & Vonnette decided to write "When Mommy's Job is Far Away" because they believe that supportive material should come in an easy to read and understand format. Additionally, they sought to fill a need for children's literature which reflects the rapidly growing number of women in the military.
Jennifer was born and raised in Akron, Ohio. She has a Bachelors Degree in Educational Studies. She accepted a job as a military nanny. Living with the Monteith family became a grand adventure which lasted five years. In that period she moved with them four times Washington DC, Leavenworth KS, Watertown, NY and then finally to Alexandria, VA where she met her beloved husband Jeff. Jennifer now resides in sunny Riverview, FL. She loves singing, photography, teaching preschool, reading, theater, family and her puppies Oliver & Harper.
