Produktbeschreibung
The fact that Joanna Johansen was adopted was never a secret, but she rarely talked about it with her long-time school friends, Amy, Lauren, and Janene. There came a moment, however, when Joanna answered their questions and disclosed her birth box left by that long-ago mother. Following the death of her adoptive mother, Joanna launches a journey that takes her to Mexico, following clues toward the discovery of this unknown mother. Honoring the pact of their childhood, each friend plays a role in the search, experiencing fragments of the richness of Mexico-its contrasts, its powerful history, and remarkably romantic setting. They watch as Joanna finds unexpected romance, questions her future, and achieves solace. The reader catches glimpses of Dixie, the birth mother, whose childhood pain left a permanent spine in her heart. Hers has been a life of fleeing from deep turmoil. La Espina is a story of friendship, loyalty, love, searching, and healing.

Autorenporträt
Grandmother Rose and I held a close relationship. She lived in three centuries and took her last breath in 2000. She inspired me to be a writer and I was designated the keeper of her writings. Before I retired from teaching, I revealed my desire to write with my students. In actuality, I've never left teaching, but continue to substitute in the Fort Collins, Colorado area.Creating-whether a quilt, garment, home-cooked meal, gift for another, or written words on a page-gives my life meaning, challenge and enjoyment. Inventing poems and songs for family and friends, interviewing others and penning their stories, recording the history of the country school where my parents and I studied, authoring my memoir entitled Country Roads, and crafting new characters and new scenarios as a fiction writer continue to fascinate me.Family is always a priority for me. Four generations lived on the farm where I was raised. I count myself fortunate to have milked cows, cleaned chicken houses, thrown hay bales, made my own clothes, and raised, then harvested garden produce. Today, I cherish fond memories of motor home explorations with my husband, now deceased, and focus, not only on writing, but also on creating adventures and moments of joy with my six great-grandchildren.
