She began writing poems and essays at an early age and has continued her love of writing to this day, attending YWCA and Readers Digest and COMPASS writing programs. Semona was a feature staff writer in the 1950s for the East Minneapolis Argus, has been published in two Macfadden Womens Group magazines, and also in the Saint Paul Press. Her newspaper experience and her published essays encouraged her to write about her mothers life something she knew all about from her mothers diary and from newspaper clippings of that era. Semona wrote Hilda in the early 1980s after a trip to Sweden where she was welcomed by extended family on her fathers side. Today, Semona Whitney is eighty-seven years old and lives in Northeast Minneapolis in a high-rise apartment building overlooking 1010 18th Avenue, her parents last home.view less
