About the author

When I'm not writing or teaching at a women's college in Milwaukee, I hang with my family which includes my four grown kids, my husband Jeff and a cat named Sparkie. Jeff, who was an only child, loved to be around my siblings when we were dating. Ann Angel was one of nine kids — he once said, "This isn't a family; it's an experience."

Although of course Patty Campbell's book is the best Cormier biography/lit crit, this book is definitely worth a look because it contains some very touching family anecdotes and photographs you will not be able to find elsewhere. Thus, I recommend.
