That's Just the Way it Was!: (Not a Fairy Tale)

By Diane Quackenbush-Douglas and Stephen Adams

It is written like a fairy tale, yet the events are realistic. The moral of the story is that ordinary people can accomplish extraordinary things. It is meant to inspire young children to go out and do what they can do to make the world a better place.

Although the story is fictional, the events are based on personal and historical events in Diane's life. In fact, her father still resides in the house and village where the story is set, in Fosters, Michigan.

Diane Quackenbush-Douglas

Diane lives with her husband, on a small lake in Linden, Michigan. She has been involved in teaching and education for over thirty years. She earned her Bachelor of Elementary Education in 1994 and her Master of Educational Leadership in 2006, both from Saginaw Valley State University. She enjoys teaching, reading, writing, learning and communicating. She is intrigued by modern technology and by the speed at which the world is changing. The author wishes to dedicate this first book to her loving family; to her father, who always entertained her curiosity; her husband, James, without his love and support, this book wouldn't have been possible. And to Terah, Tim, Jared and Justin, whom she loves very much.
