About the Author
Amanda Rawson Hill grew up in Southwestern Wyoming with a library right out her back gate. (Which explains a lot about how she turned out.) She got her degree in chemistry from Brigham Young University and then lived all over the United States before finally settling down with her husband and four kids in Central California. She spends her days homeschooling her kids, reading, writing, painting, knitting, volunteering in her community, and singing at the top of her lungs.
