Rita Williams Atkinson
Meet the Author
Born and raised in central Wisconsin, the author became interested in writing fiction in sixth grade, after a children's book writing class assignment. Writing remained a hobby throughout high school, college, raising two children, and a career in public service, all of which allowed little time for focused writing. Finally, when life got less hectic, she opened her laptop and started writing again.
