Jo Ann Kiser began imagining this novel in about 1970. It started off as a memoir. Eventually she decided to turn it into fiction. Geneva Clay, her protagonist, always dreamed of becoming a writer. Apparently, so did Jo Ann.
This is quite a story. So is Jo Ann's. The author insists this is not an autobiography. I believe her. There's a saying; write what you know. She certainly did that!
Good things do come to those who wait.
