Inhaltsangabe

Kathy's heartwarming story begins in 1961 where she lives in a prairie home in Northeastern Montana near Four Buttes. Five-year-old Kathy is the youngest of 5 children in the post-World War II era, and the story is the charming tale of a little girl growing up in the love and security of her family and community, the exciting times of calving, planting, harvesting, and trips to town. She alludes to Laura Ingalls Wilder in her story, ending with the dream to be a character in a book, just like Laura was.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Kathy Rice grew up on a farm near Scobey, Montana with her parents, sister, and three brothers. Her mother, Dorothy Rustebakke, was a prolific writer, working as a journalist for the local weekly newspaper and a contributing reporter to state and national newsfeeds. Kathy participated in several mission outreaches including a Wagon Train in 1976 that crossed America with Youth With A Mission where she fell in love and married Donald Rice, a graduate of Milton Hershey School in Pennsylvania. They lived in Haiti for two years, and returned to Montana and later Pennsylvania and raised six children. One day she received an envelope from her mother. Inside was a newspaper "The Montana Journal" and a check for an essay that was published in the issue. Kathy had written an essay for a college writing class. Her mother knew Kathy needed a boost to start taking her writing seriously, and had submitted her essay. Here was the finished product - no rejection slips, no negative feedback, just the published article and the paycheck. Encouraged by her mother and inspired by the Laura Ingalls Wilder "Little House" series, Kathy started writing about her young, charmed life growing up on the Montana prairie. The book not only appeals to adults who were children in the 1950s and '60s, but it appeals to children who enjoy traveling back in time where they can experience life as it was "back in the good ol' days".
