I remember being introduced to my first chapter book in elementary school. I loved how the characters and story came life. My imagination soared and I wanted to be a writer/author. As a young teenager, I practiced writing stories and my favorite place to write was sitting on the bedroom floor with my bed as a desk. Today, I like to write outside in the middle of the driveway (sitting in a camping chair) or nestled up in the loft of my tiny home.


Author James brings readers in instantly with powerful images and sensory details that show the heroine’s fragile state of mind.
