Cara C. Putman is an American published author.

She has had a passion for writing mysteries ever since her younger days reading the Nancy Drew novels. As a kid, she enjoyed writing and reading and now sees it as training for when she would write novels of her own. She grew up being home schooled.

Putman finished high school when she was just sixteen years old. She grew up in Nebraska and went on to attend college. She studied at the University of Nebraska as well as the George Mason University School of Law, eventually going on to attend the Krannert School of Management at Purdue University.

Once she was done with college she decided to move to Washington, D.C. so she could start a career in public policy.

She is married to her husband and they have four children together, living all together in Indiana. She also lectures at Purdue University in the subjects of ethics and law in addition to practicing law.

Cara first began her journey through writing in 2005. That is when she decided that she would try writing a novel. That year was also when she went to a local Christian bookstore for a book signing, where she would meet Colleen Coble. She confided her dream of writing in Colleen and has been writing ever since.

Cara is also many things besides just an author. She is a believer in God, a mother that home schools, a wife, an active church attender, an instructor, has run mini marathons, is President of ACFW’s Indiana chapter, a blogger, a fan of football, publicity officer for the American Christian Fiction Writers, and a big reader, as well as attorney.

She has gone through the good times and some bad times too. Cara tries her best to try and find a good balance when it comes to juggling a law career, personal life, and her writing. While it seems like she often has life figured out, the truth is that she isn’t perfect and doesn’t have it all together all of the time. However, she credits finding an inner strength to finding strength in God.

A solution comes along when members of her community decide to start up a canteen placed at the train station in town. There she is able to find a role and start helping. Audrey spends as much of her time there as she can, giving simple kindness and food to the various soldiers that come through there.

She’s plenty busy there with lots to do and feels satisfaction in helping the war effort just like she wanted. She’s constantly being engaged while at the station, but in spite of all of this, she allows herself the chance to spend a little bit of time getting more acquainted with a rancher (who just so happens to be very handsome).

Willard Johnson has concerns for his brother. He wanted to go see the world and leave the ranch, so he enlisted with the military. Willard’s worried that he’s going to get himself killed. It appears that his fears were warranted. When this all comes to pass, the rancher feels the drive to avenge his brother’s death by signing up with the navy.
