author visit: Jeanne Ann Vanderhoef

On May 6, author Jeanne Ann Vanderhoef came to the museum with her family to sign copies of her books and talk about her life. She had copies of her second book, Hard Road to Heaven, published in 2011. Ms. Vanderhoef stated that her newest book was based on her own memories plus the stories of others who shared their war-time experiences with her during her years in Germany.

Ms. Vanderhoef is the daughter of Janet Lambert, well-known local author of 54 young adult best-sellers over the course of her literary career.
