About the Author

Helen Makinster was born in the rural farming and ranching country of western Nebraska during the "dust bowl" era. In the early ’30s when Helen was less than two years old, her family left Nebraska for the Sacramento valley in California. Life for Helen and her family proved to be little better than it had been in Nebraska. Clean air free of dust was at least noteworthy, her mother observed years later. A wide range of experiences was to follow for this child of the "dirty thirties." As she got older, she held a growing desire to write, thus providing release and escape from an often harsh existence. Helen was a sensitive shy girl who did not easily express herself due to her difficult childhood. It would be years later that she finally realized the value of what she had to say. While Helen wrote her first novel, she felt guidance bringing an inner awareness that, even in fiction, there is an element of truth.
