Living is a country setting; we frequently observe nature's creatures in their natural settings. Friends and the relationships of those creatures came from watching and imagining how they might exist as friends. Often the author would go to the skimmer and rescue toads who were trapped there, and then release them in the bushes so they could be with their friends. Alyce Park Breshears, the daughter of H.K. Park, is a lifelong resident of California, where she and her husband, Robert, are parents to Mychael, Todd, Nycole, and Nathan. Retired, she enjoys reading, writing, and studying the past.
