Nancy Tegart and Sharon Wass, both residents of the Columbia Valley met at a writer’s conference several years ago. When Nancy mentioned an intention to compile a collection of Christmas letters, Sharon offered to give her a hand when she was ready. Ten years later, the phone call came, "Can you help me write a story about a horse?" 35 pages later, Sharon suggested the short story become a biography and a loving partnership was formed. The published author of poems, children’s stories and cookbooks, this is Sharon’s first work of this length.
