into well over a dozen languages and have appeared in
virtually every country in the
world.

Cherokee in 1782.
Ball lives in a restored turn-of-the-century barn in the
heart of the Blue
Ridge Divide. She serves on the executive boards of several
community service
groups, and in her spare time writes, edits and publishes
newsletters for Friends of
the Library and local animal rescue groups. Hobbies include
oil painting, hiking and
dog obedience training.
