Lois Ruby is the author of several novels, including Steal Away Home, which was named an IRA Young Adults' Choice and a Notable Children's Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies (NCSS/CBC). Before she turned to writing, she was a young adult librarian for the Dallas Public Library. In her spare time, she serves on the board of Inter-Faith Inn Homeless Shelter in Wichita, Kansas, and sometimes teaches minicourses to seventh and eighth graders. "The place I feel most comfortable," she says, "is among teenagers, laughing." The mother of three sons, she lives in Wichita with her husband, Thomas.
