Gretchen Stenehjem lives in Watford City, North Dakota. Gretchen and her husband, Steve, raised four children and now enjoy spending time with their six grandchildren. Gretchen is a former elementary school teacher and preschool director with a degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Reading Disabilities from Mankato State University in Minnesota. Becoming an author was the perfect fit for her!

Buddy the golden retriever was adopted by the Gretchen and her family. He was found after an accident which left him blind in one eye. Despite his disability, Buddy had so much love to give. He ran and played with the Stenehjem children Peter, Erik, Kira and Kristen. He even helped Erik overcome his fear of dogs. Buddy lived with their family for 13 years.

Gretchen is currently working on more stories about Buddy so look for more encouraging messages soon!
