Judy Baer was born and grew up on a farm on the prairies of North Dakota, USA. An only child, she spent most of her days with imaginary people-either those she read about or those she made up in her head. Her most ambitious conjuring did not succeed, however. She kept a clean stall with hay and oats for the horse she imagined would come but unfortunately, it never did. As an adult, however, she managed to make that dream come true and raised foundation quarter horses and buffalo for some years. A voracious reader, Judy learned to read with comic books, anything from Little Lulu and Superman to the Rawhide Kid. She sold her first story for $10.00 to a farm magazine. She still has the $10.00.
She graduated from Concordia College, Moorhead, Minnesota with a major in English and education and a minor in religion. At the time, she was simply studying what interested her, but now realizes that she was educating herself for her future career as an inspirational christian romance writer.
Judy wanted to write for Harlequin even in high school but it wasn't until her youngest child learned to say "No" that she realized that she'd better consider a second career to fall back on when mothering was done. Her first book was written with her little girl on her lap. Judy would type a few words, say "Now, Jennifer," at which time her daughter would hit the space bar before Judy continued typing. It wasn't the fastest way to work, but it offered a lot of mother-daughter time together. An over-achiever, she's written 71 books for various publishers. The mother of two and step-mother of three, she now has lots of family to enjoy.
In 2001, she went back to school and became a certified professional life coach. Currently she is working on her Master's in Human Development in the areas of writing, coaching and spirituality and writing inspirational Chick Lit which, she says, is the most fun she's ever had writing.

I think this book does an excellent job covering suicide from a Biblical standpoint.

It’s sad Chad didn’t know how many people cared about him. I really love how the book chooses how to tackle suicide and how encouraging the scriptures are. From now, I’ll start reading Cedar River Daydreams whenever I’m feeling down, and I’ll start writing down my favorite outfits again:
pg. 24: baby blue shirt (Todd)
leopard print Zubaz, red sock and blue sock, untied high-tops, and purple sweatshirt with lightening bolts and footballs (Hope Egg doesn’t trip on his high-tops lol)
pg. 25: ponytail and denim dress with wide red belt (Jennifer)
short black skirt, black and white checked shirt, and black and white checked barrette (Binky)
pg. 26: blue and black striped knit shirt, black stirrups, and blue and black fabric headband (Lexi)
pg. 28: brightly colored floral tights and long, oversized sweater (Minda)
pg. 90: dark green jumper dress and white blouse (Lexi)
pg. 120: gray sweatsuit (Peggy)

This book deals with suicide and looks at Biblical while helping the characters to have hope.
