About the Author

Lois grew up with her brother Bob in the center of the little coastal town of Cushing, Maine, where they had close family ties, good neighbors and wonderful friends. Time spent in the Pleasant Point end of town on their grandparents' beautiful Farm on the Georges River, or at the "Post Office house" out on the road, was always looked forward to. The whole family eventually moved into the Farm House for several years, and Lois even lived there as a young mother, while hers and David's children grew to love the winding dirt lane leading through blueberry land and favorite trees, straight down to the especially beloved Turtle Rock shore.
She and some of her family, including grandkids, still visit that special place, thanks to the kind owners, for sadly none of it belongs to any of their family now.
