About The Author

Ever since she was a child, the author loved animals. She remembers seeing her first Siamese cat at three years old and feeling she had stepped into a magical realm. That feeling led her to work for many years with horses and eventually oxen. On the non-animal side, she graduated from Tufts University with a B.A. in Economics and from Saybrook University with a M.A. in Psychology. She has worked for a long time as an ACT/SAT tutor. This is her first book.
