About the Author

"Help!" says author June Gossler Anderson. "I'm a ten-year old girl trapped in the body of a seventy year-old woman!" She confides that she was channeled by her school-age alter ego to write this fictionalized memoir of her grade school years. Born in Nordeast Minneapolis, the author attended Thomas Lowry School, kindergarten through eighth grade. Three of her four children also went to that school until the family moved to the country where they raised horses and chickens and pigs. (Oh my) Now that her children are grown and gone, she grows tomatoes in the summer, cans them in the fall, and writes stories the rest of the year while vacationing in "her past."
