Lois Hodgson loved reading from an early age and as a teenager gleefully rhymed almost everything that came out of her mouth. Some of those rhymes were written down on pieces of paper and stuffed in a dresser drawer. She always wanted to be a writer and a painter but thought to be either one of those things, a person must be especially gifted from god. Any way, soon enough, life got in the way of persuing them as she fell in love with a returning WWII soldier that she met the first day of college and in 1949 they were married. She worked at jobs to supplement the barely adequate VA allotment while he got his masters degree. In a scant sixteen months they produced two fine boys. They moved to Filer, in southern Idaho, where he taught school and they added a baby girl to their family. Eighteen years passed before she had the opportunity to resume her college education. She and her eldest son, Kevin, started attending classed at Twin Falls Jr. College in 1968 and they graduated together with AA degrees with in 1970. It was a year later when her husband died and twenty years passed before she had the opportunity to go back to college again. In 1992 she took both writing and painting at Washington State University and graduated in fine arts in 1995. Her writing instructor told her she was a writer and it was there in writing class that she wrote the prologue to this book. She joined a critiquing group called Writers Bloc and continued to write stories of her early childhood. One of the stories “The Morning From Hell” was awarded an Honorable mention from Writers Digest in their 73rd annual writing competition. |
