Author Biography

Berta James

Growing up in a small western town, Berta James heard stories of her pioneer grandmothers: Stories of hope, despair and suffering; of faith, rebellion, plural marriage and apostasy. Stories of Love. “Someday,” she decided, “I will write books about them.” Through the years they have, at last, woven themselves into the tapestry of this book.

James is the author of uncounted articles on education (she was a teacher for over thirty-five years), A Handbook for Beginning Teachers, BEING REAL, and The Last Dance: A Story of Love & Death, and many children’s books. She and her husband, Bill, live in Farmington, Utah.
