HK Jacobs grew up in a small town in Texas where she discovered a love of many things including reading, horses, and being outside every second she could.  

She graduated from Baylor College of Medicine and then pursued a career as a pediatric critical care physician.  As she advanced in her medical training, she moved farther and farther away from Texas—soaring on newfound wings but firmly grounded in her roots.  Over the last decade, she has traveled the globe to provide medical care and education for developing ICU's in low-middle income countries, an investment that is her life's passion.  She currently resides in Texas where she continues to balance the many roles in her life—mother, physician, humanitarian, dreamer, and now author.
