June Kjome has spent her life as an activist - first in Africa and later back in the United States on issues related to hunger, peace, housing, medical care, marriage equality and more. She is so beloved in her home community that a party was thrown for her when she turned 85 called June Kjome Day. Now at age 95, she cannot protest as much as she once did or advocate for causes important to her, but she still has a lot to say about aging well. We all want to be like June when we grow up.

La Crosse, Wisconsin was an innocent small community in 1953. Equally innocent was bright, young babysitter Evelyn Hartley. But, someone came in and snatched her while she was baby-sitting and she was never seen again. This story still haunts La Crosse sixty years later, with just about everyone holding a theory about what happened to her or a story about how they were affected by her disappearance and presumed murder. There was no CNN, MSNBC, or Fox News then. In fact, La Crosse did not even have its own TV station. Still, the national media descended on the city just like they do today. This book includes crime scene photos and newspaper articles during the time when the issue was still hot.
