J. Tracy\u003c\/b\u003e was the pseudonym  of mother-daughter writing team P. J. and Traci Lambrecht. Traci spent  most of her childhood riding and showing horses. She graduated with a  Russian studies major from St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota,  where she also studied voice. Her aspirations of becoming a spy were  dashed when the Cold War ended, so she began writing to finance her  annoying habits of travel and singing in rock bands. Much to her  mother's relief, she finally realized that the written word was her true  calling. They had a long, prolific career together in multiple genres  before P. J.'s passing in December 2016. Traci continues to write.","brand":"Crooked Lane Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48233652945125,"sku":"NP9798892427777","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9798892427777.jpg?v=1767738978","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/the-deepest-cut-isbn-9798892427777","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
