Brenda Peterson is the author of seventeen books, which range from her first popular memoir, Build Me an Ark: A Life with Animals, chosen as a "Best Spiritual Book of the Year," to three novels, one of which, Duck and Cover, was selected by The New York Times as a "Notable Book of the Year." Her new memoir, I Want To Be Left Behind: Finding Rapture Here on Earth, was chosen as an Indie Next "Best Top Read" and among the "Top Ten Best Non-Fiction Books of 2010." Critically acclaimed, I Want to Be Left Behind was hailed by Booklist as "unusually affecting and radiant … a witty, enrapturing account of a spiritual journey of great relevance to us all." Brenda's first children's book, Leopard and Silkie: One Boy's Quest to Save Seal Pups, is due out in April 2012. Take a look at www.amazon.com/Leopard-Silkie-Boys-Quest-Save/dp/080509167X.
