About the Author

Harriet Ziefert didn't need to do any extra research for this book. As the child of a physician with a home office, and the wife of an internist and a child psychiatrist, she already knew whereof she wrote. Ms. Ziefert is the ebullient, dedicated founder and publisher of Blue Apple Books. The author lives in South Orange, NJ.
