Born in Kansas in 1939, Barbara Drake came with her parents to Oregon as a small child. After college, she moved to Michigan, where she worked as a textbook writer for Holt, Rinehart and Winston and freelanced creative writing while raising three children. Later, she taught at Michigan State University. After sixteen years in Michigan, Drake returned to Oregon in 1983 to teach at Linfield College, where she worked until her retirement in 2007. She lives with her husband, William Beckman, on a small Yamhill County farm, which inspired Peace at Heart and Small Favors.
