Cheri Cramer Johnson has lived in Albuquerque most of her life. She has spent several summers at the University of Iowa’s Writers Festival, has attended the University of New Mexico and West Texas State University (now West Texas A&M), and has taught English and Communications at both high school and college levels. The idea for this story came to her while she was driving past little crosses on the roadside and seeing workers in their orange suits picking up trash. This is her first novel.
