Marne' G. Reneer inherited a love for stories, story telling, and writing from her mother Elaine H. Garlick. Before her death in 2000, Elaine Garlick typed up as many stories as she could in a large unfinished volume and titled it: Paradise of the Rockies. She wanted her grandchildren to know and remember her. After Elaine's death, Marne' Reneer felt that there was more work to be done with her mother's stories. Marne' organized the stories chronologically, added more details, and grouped them into shorter chapter books. Thanks to online publishing and the internet these books are now available to a wide audience of children and parents alike who will find delight in the antics of Ada Elaine as a young girl on a dairy farm and her experiences during the challenging years of World War II.
