Nicki Truesdell is a 2nd-generation homeschooler, author of Anyone Can Homeschool, and mother of 5.

Texas born and raised, she is a homemaker at heart, and loves books, freedom, history and quilts.

Nicki believes that education is discipleship and that as Christian parents we have a responsibility to raise up our children in the model of Deuteronomy 6:6-9. Her passion is helping parents to joyfully embrace this calling.

Nicki is also a member of the Texas Home Educators Board of Directors.
