Sandra Sorenson-Kindt was born and raised in Arizona. Most of her summers involved a public swimming pool or a field trip to the local air-conditioned library. . . where her love of reading was born. A middle grade story, a tangled mystery, or an engaging historical fiction, can keep her turning pages well into the night. Writing inspirational stories for kids has become her newest love. Time with family and friends keeps her grounded in a meaningful life.
