Wisconsin natives, Ana Leigh and her husband, Don, have three children and five grandchildren. From the time of the publication of her novel, LOVE'S LONG JOURNEY, by Leisure Books in 1981, Ana successfully juggled her time between her chosen career and her hobby of writing, until she officially retired in September of '94 to devote more time to her "hobby." In the past she has been a theater cashier (who married the boss,) the head of an accounting department, a corporate officer, and the only female on the Board of Directors of an engineering firm.

This book I picked up for 10 cents off a sale table, best dime I ever spent! It is a wonderful story that is rich in detail and characterization, although some of the settings are a little contrived (as in most romantic/suspense story lines), it is none the less a good read. I love it when I run across these little gold nuggets, books like this one is the reason some of us scavenge through yard sales, Library book sales and the like. And if anyone out there is like me, we wouldn’t have it any other way!
