Carole Mackin who was born in St. Charles, Missouri, at the mouth of the Missouri River has come up in the world. She now lives with her husband, Mark, in the Missouri headwaters near Helena, Montana.  Carole is a Geochemist who spent a long career writing  scientific documents. She has also published several true Montana tales and a poem or two.

When Carole retired in 2005, she never dreamed she’d write fiction. But three characters: Peggy Pryor, Brad Duello and Sisy Duello insisted their story must be told because it would help people face uncertain times.  They were prophetic.  Each day brings the same chaos to our lives that shaped their story.
