About the Book

In the summer of 1945, Arie (pronounced like Marie, minus the M) was eight years old. When she recovered from the chicken pox and began her summer, she could not have known what she would encounter. Uncovered family secrets, hobos, injury, death, family support and love, good friends, some work and lots of play filled the vacation from school to overflowing. She’s a good kid, but she’s certainly not perfect, nor does she want to be. Her parents wouldn’t change her either. Her life is one of interest, intrigue, and opportunities to learn about life and its offerings. You’re gonna like this book!

About the Author

I am seventy-two years old and have taught school more than forty years. I have retired three times, but I guess I haven’t gotten retirement right yet because I will be teaching fifth grade this year. My teaching experiences have been in several states. I have three sons and nine grandchildren. An eleven year old granddaughter lives with me. I enjoy quilting, gardening (only in pots), playing the piano and front porch bird watching. Writing is a great passion of mine. I have lots more Arie experiences to put on paper! I live in Arkansas on the same place my grandparents lived. I am quite sure their spirits are right here with me.
