Claire Fyrqvist lives with her husband and four young children in the Catholic Worker neighborhood in South Bend. They spent several years working in the local pro-life movement, and Claire now splits her time between writing, gardening, caring for eight chickens and a rabbit, and running a Montessori Children's House. She is also on the board of Feminists for Nonviolent Choices, a non profit that seeks a consistent life ethic against war, abortion, euthanasia and capital punishment.
