In time they become friends with others in their same situation. Author Lohse does an outstanding job of bringing the reader into her life as a fledgling in unfamiliar territory, developing into a woman of confidence and compassion.

I still have friends from I, too, wrote a book not on Amazon yet, but a copy is available in the West Yellowstone museum.

It seems Joyce and I worked in two different parks.
