Book Cover & Preview Text
Let me tell you a story about a curious little girl named Zoey. She was a cute little 8-year-old girl with dark-brown eyes and light-brown hair tied in pigtails with little red ribbons. As a child growing up in the 1940s, Zoey lived a simple life with her mother and father. She was the youngest of seven children, a total of six girls and one boy. All of her siblings had basically grown up and moved out of the house to start their own families. As as a result, Zoey was somewhat a lonely little girl on the farm. She dearly loved her parents and enjoyed spending time with them, but she also missed playing with children of her own age. Fortunately, her best friend Linda lived not too far away. When they occasionally got a chance to play together at Linda's house, they had lots of fun attempting to turn cartwheels and somersaults out in the front yard. They also spent a lot of time giggling when the cute little boy next door came out to play with them. You see, Larry was very fond of Zoey and he always tried to make the best impression with his on-the-mark slingshot skills. Little did Larry know that Zoey could shoot a slingshot just as well, if not better, but for the sake of saving face, she kept that particular talent to herself.

About the Author
Tambra L. Eifert knew at a relatively young age that she would one day be an author. She always could create stories with real and fictional characters, presenting lessons to be learned and problems to be solved. Tambra’s style of writing is somewhat different from other authors in that she can start with just a word or phrase, a detail or event, or even an inspirational thought, and like a seed, it magically grows into a story. Tambra resides in Topeka, Kansas with her two dogs and bird. Earning a Ph.D. from the Missouri University of Science and Technology, she serves as a faculty member teaching geology courses at Washburn University.
