Cheryl Dawn Buchan has been writing stories since she was a small child growing up in Quispamsis, NB, and A Calf for Olive is her first book. The book was inspired by a young woman she met driving an accessible bus. She has also served as a Beaver and Scout leader, T-ball and softball coach, search and rescue volunteer, Sunday school teacher, and dog trainer. She continues to live in Quispamsis, and she enjoys introducing visitors to the Saint John area on ship shore excursions when the cruise ships are in port.
