I'm a 64-1/2 year old mother of two young children ages nine and eleven living in a very small town in Central Minnesota. A Sign Language Interpreter for 30 years who dreams of writing more books, I published "Altar(ed) Girl" not only to finally get this story out of my head and onto printed paper, but also to connect with others - survivors and non-survivors alike. 

I embrace the teachings of Buddhism, my children, meditation and humor. It is my hope that us women are clearing the way for some version of the Wanderground in the not-too-distant future.
