About Author

Wilson Rawls grew up on a small farm in the Ozark Mountains of Oklahoma. There were no schools where he lived so his mother taught Rawls and his sisters how to read and write. He says that reading the book "The Call of the Wild "changed his life and gave him the notion that he would like to grow up to write a book like it.

Rawls never forgot his father's words, and went on to create two novels about his boyhood that have become modern class
