Author Bio:
The author was born in Nahma, Michigan and raised in Gladstone.
After that, she resided in Milwaukee, San Francisco, and Evanston, IL.
When Mary Lynn was eight-years-old, she was told the family would be moving out of the Village of Nahma.
“Well, I’m not!” she responded. They’d never replace the large, picketed
yard with two apple trees and a strawberry patch, she knew that.
And what about the four little friends she so cherished? Could
grown-ups really pull this on their kids?
Ah yes, she found. Days later, as their Dodge wound slowly out of town, the little girl cried and cried. Soon, her mother handed back some folded-over papers. “Try to write down just exactly how you feel,” she said. Once that was all completed, Mary Lynn felt ever so much better.
After that, she wrote. In Diaries with tiny keys, in Journals, all her life.
“Someday, I’ll write a novel,” she told everyone.
And, like her favorite childhood character, The Little Red Hen, one day
she did.
