Nancy Rue is an American Christian novelist, writing for tweens and adults.
[2] Nancy N. Rue was born on July 27, 1951, in Riverside, New Jersey as the third child in her family.
She has stated that one of the reasons she started writing novels for tween girls is to help both the girls and their mothers more easily discuss body and social issues,[3] citing difficulty talking to her own mother about sex and other issues.
Later Rue met with a writer she knew and wrote a nonfiction book for kids.
She kept pursuing her dream of writing and soon became a well-known author for the Lily series, and many more Christian novels.
