About the Author

Carmen Petro was raised near the Allegheny Mountains in Southwestern Pennsylvania, but he now lives in the foothills of the scenic New Hampshire White Mountains with his wife, Sylvia, 5 dogs, and 2 cats. He and Sylvia raised 5 children that are all grown and on their own, the youngest of which is Caitlyn. Back when Caitlyn was just a pipsqueak, Carmen wrote a number of stories for his young daughter (loosely based on real people and the family’s real-life experiences) to encourage her and let her know that she has the potential to do anything she puts her mind to. Over time these stories evolved into a series of books written with the intent to encourage young girls to dream big, take control of their futures, think outside the box, and not let anyone tell them they can’t do something.

Caitlyn has since grown into a strong, confident, and successful young woman. It’s the authors sincere hope that these stories encourage and motivate other young girls to chase their dreams and not let ANYONE stop them from realizing their God-given potential.
