Story Behind The Book
I grew up in Idaho and have traveled the road from Grangeville to Dixie many times, either by vehicle or snowmobile. I know the area well. A friend of mine was a hunting guide in that area and the waterfall incident I write about in my book really happened to her and she said I could use it in my book.

<span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">"I loved this book. The charactors were so real, you just wanted to climb in to the pages and live their lives. I dont usualy like books set in the 70s, I think people dont catch the real feeling of the era, but this book nailed it. Definetly read! Definetly Love!"</span><div><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">"Having lived in Idaho and knowing of the places mentioned in this book, made the story seem to be based on non-fiction rather than fiction. It is a story that makes you want to keep reading to see what happens to the main characters--you think you know what is going to happen, but then, situations change and you begin to wonder if the story is taking a different turn.....</span><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">The author does well in bringing her characters to life and keeping the reader's attention. For a first book, I give it 4 stars!"</span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">"Really great. I read it in 2 days. It felt like I was there and a part of it. It draws you in and makes you want to read more. I cant wait for another book! This is not the typical, sappy love story, which is great."<br /></span></div>
