Elizabeth Fontaine
For Elizabeth Fontaine, growing up Buddhist in a small town in Central Minnesota wasn’t easy. She reacted to the unease of young adulthood by living life to the fullest, which is a “Minnesota nice” way of saying she frequently got herself and others into trouble. When she wasn’t being a delinquent, she was probably making up stories, which, of course, led to more trouble. Elizabeth became a respectable adult, with a couple of college degrees, a teaching career, and a family. Fortunately, she still gets into trouble and loves to write about young adults, who are also living life to the fullest.
