About Baby in the Bluegrass

While the road was a little rocky with two miscarriages and difficulty conceiving, publishers Jackie and Bill Powell now revel in the joys that parenthood brings. They love the life they’ve built in Lexington with their two boys—Zach (2000) and Billy (2004). They count their advertising agency, Serif Group, as their third child and enjoy watching it grow with new business clients and the launch of "Baby in the Bluegrass", their first venture in publishing.
