Beyond the White River
Kristen Garner McKendry began writing in her teens, and her work has been published in Canada and the US. She received a bachelor's degree in linguistics from Brigham Young University and has always been a voracious reader. Kristen has a strong interest in urban agriculuture, sustainable living, and environmental issues. She enjoys playing the bagpipes, learning obscure languages, growing wheat in the backyard, and making cheese. A native of Utah and mother of three, she now resides with her family in Canada. The idea for this book came from pondering how a sense of place impacts a person and how people impact places.
