Books have always been very special to me. From the days when I would explore our school library in search of the stories I loved to read to the days when I would read stories to my daughter as she fell asleep...and then to the day when I published my very first book, In the Wash: The Rona Shively Stories; books have always played a very prominent role in my life. Whether writing or reading, I always found so much value in stories of all kinds.
When I think of all of the great things that I've been able to read, I am compelled to work even harder to produce great books for fellow readers. Books for me, have been an escape. They've been a refuge. They've been a comfort. And I hope that you'll be able to find one or two books in the Higher Ground Books & Media collection that will serve you in the same way.
