An interesting fact about the author: Lynette Mather "My mom once told me that I carried a notebook instead of a blanket when I was young. She said I started out scribbling in it, until I learned how to write. Then she said I would sit and write in that notebook for hours. She used to tell me that I was a great storyteller. Now I wish my mom was still here to read my book. She was killed by drunk drivers on April 14th 1989, and I sure do miss her!"
