The Mischief Maker

Ralph, nick named Rate, sat on the front porch with his faithful dog, Bruno. Gosh! Why'd Pa have them move to town? Farm life had been so full of adventure; all kinds of activity and places to explore. He knew the answer. It was so his sister didn't have to drive the buggy from the farm to get to school. Blanche was too good to go to the country school according to his grandmother, Setterington, and since they left Elsie, this was the solution Pa came up with. This pleased Ma too, since this had been her home as a child. It just seemed that no one ever cared about his feelings. Some things would never change. He guessed he and Bruno would just have to adjust. After all, he was sure he could come up with some fun ways to make life in town a bit more exciting. This is the second book in the series of the Setterington Family, from Elsie, Michigan, back in the early 1900's. Donna Gene grew up on a small farm outside of Elsie, Michigan. She treasured her life on the farm. She had a large extended family, which she often visited. After graduating from Elsie High School, she attended Business School in Lansing, for secretarial training. When her job got eliminated after WWII ended, she headed to Michigan State College. There she met her husband to be Roman Stankey. Once married, they moved to Roman's family farm outside of Wayland, Michigan. There she birthed eight children. Her passion for reading and writing took her back to school at Western Michigan University, where she minored in English. Her professors encouraged her to write. The love she had for her family history prompted her to write the stories she heard many times as a child and adult. This way she would preserve the Setterington family history for her children and future generations.
