About the Author

Born in the South Bronx in 1927, and having grown up there in the thirties, with the push carts, horse-drawn vegetable wagons, streets crowded with new refugees fleeing persecution, schools where you could not learn, and then on to Bay Ridge in Brooklyn, where The New York harbor became an important part of my life during WWII, as had the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty. An avid reader of Zane Grey, I was always drawn to the West, and finally, leaving with my husband to The Land of Enchantment, New Mexico, another exciting chapter would begin, including children, college, a mountain retreat and very interesting friends living all over New Mexico.
