About the Author
Wendy Foster
was born in Connecticut and grew up in Scituate, Massachusetts.
While studying in France, she traveled around Europe, and became curious about
the German language and culture. After graduating with a teaching certificate and a
degree in French, she decided to return to Europe to study German. Her love of the
Alps inspired her to live in Munich, where she spent 30 years. During that time, she
studied German, completed her MA in French at Middlebury College in Paris, and
later learned Spanish in Spain. Her professional experience includes teaching
Business English, German, French, and intercultural communication skills, as well as
writing and translating. She recently returned to her New England roots, where she
works from her home overlooking a spectacular salt marsh that constantly beckons
her to go kayaking, walking, bird watching, and swimming.
Dedication
This book is dedicated to the marsh, its wildlife, Wingaersheek Beach, the Annisquam
River, and the man I share it with, Phil Kehoe.

College. A special thanks to my literary agent Marilyn Allen.
