Barbara Reukema - Information About Author
Born in England, Barbara Reukema arrived in Canada when she was twenty-four, armed with a master's degree in business. After a career as a stockbroker, she gave up the financial fast track to attend law school. Six years later, she held three law degrees (including a doctorate in air and space law), and was married with two sons. In the early eighties, the family moved to Los Angeles.
In addition to her doctoral thesis, which dealt with the airlines' rights to refuse to fly certain passengers, she has published a number of articles on that subject. She is a former marathon runner and has held jobs ranging from census taker to law school professor.
Her parents retired to a small English village in Leicestershire, similar to the setting of this novel. She travels extensively but feels most at home when she's back in England.
