Stephanie Grace Whitson

A native of southern Illinois, Stephanie Grace Whitson has lived in Nebraska, United States, since 1975. She began what she calls "playing with imaginary friends" (writing fiction) when, as a result of teaching her four homeschooled children Nebraska history, she was encouraged and challenged by the lives of pioneer women in the West.
