About the Author

Adele Marie Crouch was born in Nevada City, California to Robert and Elizabeth Deschwanden in 1948. Her life s dream was to be an artist. Over the last 30 years, while raising three children, she has sold nearly everything she painted and won many ribbons at County Fairs and fine-art shows.
