About this listen

This is about the saga of a woman born into poverty during the Great Depression, her trials and tribulations while growing up, her early marriage, and her struggles in raising four children. After 20 years, she finally divorced her tyrannical husband and moved to the city of her birth. After her children were grown, she enrolled at the University of Minnesota to earn a degree, working days and studying evenings.

She successfully became a graphic designer and worked for a publishing house where she met her soulmate. They moved to San Diego, where they were married. Working together, they became successful publishers of educational materials called Whole Language, changing the way children learn to read.

After 17 years, that marriage ended in divorce, and she finally found time to once again devote time to her art, both painting and sculpting, before settling down to write 21 children’s books. She surrounds herself with friends and family, has been on several boards, and is making substantial donations to her first love—the arts!
