She spent her early childhood in a homesteader’s sod house that her parents, Mike and Kate Hauk, built on the eastern Montana prairie. The house boasted of a shingled roof, glass window panes, and hardwood floors in the main room; initially, the bedroom had a dirt floor.
Catherine worked outdoors beside her father until she left for college at age seventeen, giving her a feeling of equality between the sexes. She taught school in eastern Montana after completing her teacher´s degree (when few women were encouraged to earn college degrees). Later she completed her Master´s degree in Education and taught special education children (and some adults), while developing her literary and story-telling skills. If you enjoy The Spring Tender, look for her earlier novel, Mathilda.view less
