Kathleeen Fixsen Hupalo's short stories chronicle what it was like growing up female on the Family Farm in the late 1940's, 1950's, and early 1960's. In a well-crafted autobiography, Hupalo invites us to share a time which has vanished in history, as she reaches back to explore social and human issues still with us today. Kathleen Fixsen Hupalo lives in St. Paul, Minnesota, with her family and the family cats. Hupalo left the Family Farm in 1963 when she was awarded a scholarship in journalism from the University of Minnesota. Hupalo became a college drop-out in 1964, but, eventually, returned to the University from which she received a four-year degree in sociology and, later, a law degree. Hupalo loves the movies and live theater. She is an avid Minnesota Twins fan and enjoys watching ice skating and hockey, as well.
