About the Author

As I pondered the story of my parent’s life before and during their homesteading years, I realized how difficult life was for them and for us as children, and I wished that our lives could have progressed more positively. If we returned together in another lifetime as a family with the same challenges as before, we might live it more fully. How wonderful that life could be if lived over again with more love along with the hardships. Therefore dedicated to my family, I wrote the following fictional, based–on-truth, `Round a Square Table.
