About the Author John Rossborough was born during the horse and buggy days. In the words of the author, "I was not wanted at birth and the only way that my mother would care for me was if I was dressed as a girl with long hair. I was not shown any love and was a very mean child. When my father got home from work his first duty was to give me a pounding for something I had done. When I started school my father had me dress as a boy and cut my long hair. I got in a lot of fights because everyone knew me as a girl. I was told that if I did not change I would get nothing for Christmas. I did not change and got nothing."
