Down-to-earth romance in unexpected places!
Andrea Wiseman is proof that sometimes falling for your foreman can lead to a lifetime of shared adventures. She first met her husband, Mike, at a tree planting camp in Alberta when she was just nineteen, though it took three years of her gentle persistence before he finally agreed to date her. They’ve been inseparable ever since, raising two wonderful teenagers and making their home in Alberta.
In her early to mid-twenties, Andrea spent eight seasons tree planting throughout Alberta and British Columbia. While Soleil, the main character in Uprooted, doesn’t replay Andrea’s journey detail for detail, many of the main characters' challenges, victories, and bush experiences are drawn from Andrea’s real-life memories from those days. Now, working as her husband's social media manager, Andrea still channels her adventurous spirit—so much so that she even went back to the bush to plant trees this past summer at 42 years old.
When she isn’t reading and writing, she’s busy biking, travelling, and believing the best is yet to come.
