"Smartly delineated in part through letters to a nun, Mary Clare is wonderfully realized, and readers will find themselves pulling hard for her as she tries to do her best."

About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Fixmer

Elizabeth Fixmer

Elizabeth Fixmer became passionate about writing for children during her twenty years as a child psychotherapist in Denver. In her practice she used middle-grade and young-adult novels extensively to help children identify with characters, and equip them with a vocabulary to express their own thoughts and feelings. Elizabeth was so enamored with writing that she returned to school and obtained a second master’s degree: an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults (Hamline University, St. Paul, Minnesota). She loves conducting workshops and presentations.
