Author Lindsay Jay studied literature in university, and has
written poetry since adolescence, but it wasn't until the stresses
of COVID was paired with discovering mold in her family home,
forcing her to make other living arrangements for her family, that
she was inspired to write this particular, semi-autobiographical
story.
With four children, ages six and under, Lindsay and her husband
lived in six different houses while renovations were being done to
repair the mold damage to their home. Not surprisingly, she started
imagining an alternative universe in which they could, as a family,
simply walk away from the pandemic's financial and emotional
stresses-not to mention the hassle of online work and
schooling-strap on backpacks, and travel around to all their
favorite places.
While this dream was obviously not feasible, she hopes that the
fun, upbeat story it inspired will be enjoyed by readers and become
a wonderful memento of this time for her own children. Lindsay
currently lives in Toronto, Ontario, with her husband and their
four children.
