Autorenporträt
Colene was a dairyman's daughter in California. Her father, when he retired, founded an agency helping children and teens. Fifty years later it is making a difference to hundreds of families in the valley communities where he lived. Young when she decided she wanted to be a therapist, Colene pursued that goal at UC Berkeley for a B.A. After marriage and the birth of two girls and two boys, she gradually earned a Master's Degree at Hayward State University while raising her four children. Taking one course at a time, this took seven years. Later, after a divorce, she studied for a PhD in a specialized school for psychology. She received her advanced degree at the age of sixty. In her forty years as a practicing Marriage and Family Therapist she worked with many kinds of people, children, divorce therapy, couples and individuals. After her marriage to Fred Schlaepfer, also a therapist, they worked together with couples for twenty years. Fred was adored by her large family. He died at ninety-two, after they retired and moved to the retirement community where she now lives near Sacramento, California.Colene met her late-age partner, Wolfgang Hoppe, a native of Germany, at their retirement village. He came to the U.S. as an exchange student, returned to the U. S. He married an American, became a trial lawyer and worked four years for USAID in Africa. His wife died in Ashland, Oregon, where they retired. He moved to Sacramento to be near his daughter. Colene has always loved to write. This is her fifth book. She enjoys music, gardening, water aerobics and being with friends and her children, eight grandchildren, and five great grandchildren.
