About the author:

The author was born and raised in Richmond County, North Carolina. She is the youngest of eight children. Her career spans from being a nanny for over twelve years to becoming an entrepreneur, making and selling organic confectionery. Her candy was sold in several stores in Charlotte, North Carolina, via the internet. Baking and writing have always been her passion, and she also loves reading, gardening, and listening to 1960’s music.

Ms. Hanes loves children and animals. She feels that using animals to tell the story of Sergio and his plight would better convey the message that she is trying to impart to children. This story is about intimidation and finding one’s inner strength. The only way to win the battle is to begin. The reward is the feeling of euphoria when one succeeds.

The author now resides in Raleigh, North Carolina, with her husband, Andrew. They have two daughters, one son, and four delightful grandchildren.
