Autorenporträt
SUSAN STREETMAN KNEW that she would be a teacher as a seven-year-old who lined up her dolls and little sister for their daily lessons. She has spent 35 years drawing inspiration from the middle schoolers who walked into her classroom and into her heart. Their diverse stories became hers, and the desire to share their hopes became her dream. Streetman lives in her hometown of Crawfordsville, Indiana. She enjoys reading, writing, photography, and taking long walks along Sugar Creek. Her three sons encouraged her to pursue her writing dream, resulting in It's How We Survive, Streetman's first novel. She is currently working on another Lucia Sanchez story, following her protagonist after she graduates from college and begins teaching.
