<p><strong>Carol Owen Reynolds had been given an English teacher, Elizabeth Pfeier, who encouraged writing and reading. Always writing things down, she decided to take things seriously and try a creative writing class at Grossmont College in El Cajon, California. Later, Carol submitted a few stories to the Herald-Press in Harvey, North Dakota where the response was positive. After retirement and moving near her grandchildren, she put together this book.</strong></p>
