Marilyn Seigle was born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri. After graduating from the University of Arizona, she married a young West Point graduate. Over the next forty years, Maj. Gen. and Mrs. John William Seigle had three children together and made more than twenty moves throughout the United States and Europe. Marilyn and John spent many happy seasons at Summerhill, their retreat in Kennebunkport, Maine. Over the course of thirty years, they restored their much-loved home, which was the inspiration for this book. This is Marilyn’s third book, following Bunny’s Busy Day and Boswell Bear Goes to School.
