Biography
She was born in Dallas, Texas, to Judd and Judy Martin as the first born. She grew up in Mason, Texas, and traveled around a lot with rodeo (she was a barrel racer). She met Atticus (who was a bull rider) at a rodeo and they didn't get along very well because he was a stuck up jerk (as she puts it). But eventually she got him off his high horse and was able to see through him to the person he really was and they hit it off.

They traveled around a lot until they decided to settle down and have some kids. Janine inherited the ranch in South Dakota from her mother when she was ready to retire and she moved her kids up there when Jake was about 8 and Harper was still mostly a baby.

She grieved the loss of her sister greatly shortly before her first dauther, Jake was born.

When her mother started having troubles after she was diagnosed with breast cancer, she moved to Seattle to help care for her. That was shortly after they moved everyone to the ranch and the boys all moved with her. As they got older, they would go and take care of the ranch in South Dakota and her and her husband and her two youngest children along with Mitchell would stay in Seattle.

Her mother and her father passed away almost within a year of each other when Mitchell was about 11 years old. Atticus and Janine stayed in Seattle to take care of him and teach him how to take care of the farm he'd inherited.

Now her youngest daughter is 6 years old and Janine has been suffering from a weak immune system through yet another winter though she seems to have made it through the worst.
