Autorenporträt
Patricia Distad, like many authors, drew inspiration for Island Girl from her own experiences. She married a navy pilot and taught middle school language arts at the Naval Air Station Lemoore in California. She supported her students as they dealt with the hardships of having their fathers gone on long deployments and moving to new duty stations that uprooted them from their friends and neighbors. Like most military wives, she experienced the stress of long separations and concern for her husband's safety as he flew daily training hops, as well as combat missions in Vietnam.
