Anne Bachner began her professional life as an educator. Upon graduation from college, she taught language arts to junior high and high school students for 33 years. She enjoyed reading and even began to write, as she taught her students to enjoy literature and composition. Anne was interested in history and architecture, which led her to produce a booklet called The Homes of Mineral Point.
Later on, Anne worked with an organization that saved old barns. In 2007, after discovering a unique stone barn in a nearby community, she wrote Prairie Legacy, about the barn and the family that built and preserved it. Her next literary challenge in 2015 was to edit her sisterโs novel of historical fiction called The Wager and in 2019 to promote Chuck Tennessenโs Because Weโre All Forever Earthbound.
The authorโs experience as a caregiver began in earnest when her mother moved to a care facility in her hometown where it was easy to make frequent visits. The author also helped care for her two mothers-in-law, which broadened her experiences. She has indexed this book to enable her readers to look up topics from Alzheimerโs to Electronics. In the end, however, the author wrote more of a love story than a โhow toโ book.
