About the Book

Story is based on a true story. The author after about 60 years wondered why she remembered that a certain lady (that she did not know real well) made a rag dog for her when she was very sick at 4 years old. She can't remember anything else that far back. Then after reading "The Celestine Prophecy" by James Redfield, she decided that the lady must have put a lot of her loving energy into the doll while making it, and that is the reason the memory of the gift lasted.

About the Author

I grew up in a small town, went to college, and married. We had one child, a son. Was widowed at age 55. I am now retired from the insurance industry. I remarried 13 years ago (as I was retiring) and moved to present home in Gainesville, Ga. I have four grandchildren. Have written a few children's stories, but this is my first to be published. Since retiring I have enjoyed volunteering in several organizations, presently in the Meals on Wheels program. I love to read and play Bridge, and attend classes for retired people at Brenau Univ. called "BULLI" (Brenau Univ. Leisure Learning Institute).

Dinah Waterman, the illustrator, is sister of Mack Hyman, author of the classic "No Time for Sergeants".
