Edwards, Janet Zenke

Although this marks her first book-length work, Janet Zenke Edwards has long written about fascinating, unusual and otherwise remarkable people whose stories have appeared under her byline in newspapers, magazines and essays. She lives with her husband and three children in St. Louis, Missouri. Every summer she is grateful for time spent at the family's third-generation cottage along Lake Michigan's shoreline--within walking distance of where Alice Gray first settled in the Indiana dunes.
