"Authors write about the things they love and the things that fascinate them. For Alana White, those things range from the Smoky Mountains to the hills of Tuscany to the vast Pacific Northwest. And not just the places, but the people who lived and made history there." Author Mike Coleman, "The Way From Me to Us."
