Mildred Lawrence began her career as a reporter for the Flint Journal in Michigan, and wrote her first book, Susan's Bears, in 1945. Lawrence went on to write more than 2 dozen novels. As a mother of a young daughter, she felt that she knew about girls but not about boys, so all of her lead characters were female. Her characters wrestled with problems common to children and teens of the day, and Lawrence did her best to offer helpful life lessons in her books, while making an effort not to "preach."

Mildred Lawrence's last book, Touchmark, was published in 1975. ...more
