Autorenporträt
Alison Cheah lives with her husband in northern California near to where Aunt Sophia and Uncle Winston live. They attend Chinese Church in Christ which is the model for the church where Jessica meets Miss Melody. None of the characters in the book are based on any church members. When Alison is not writing, she babysits her grandchildren and, for a complete change, leads Bible Studies for middle school students. Her favorite way to spend an evening is immersed in a story.
