The only person who understood her obsession with the printed word was her aunt, a librarian, who mailed Milinda the books she couldn't find in her home town. In this way, Milinda read all the biographies ever written for children, all of Beverly Cleary, and her favorite, The Happy Hollisters.Milinda went on to major in English so that she had to read books. When the youngest of her five children was in elementary school, Milinda's obsession with reading turned into an obsession with writing. She still loves reading, but now Milinda writes books about characters she loves, and places only time travel could take her to see.
