Gail met Mary Stevenson
in 1992 and was immediately drawn to her because of
her open, caring nature. To Gail it felt part of her destiny to become friends with the author of "Footprints" and be able to write her life story.
Mary agreed and the project began. Gail deeply related to Mary's story
because of several "connections". She and Mary shared a background of serious abuse, and Mary's "Footprints" poem had been a help and comfort to
Gail when she was going through hard times as a teenager in the '50s. Gail turned down other projects to get Mary's story published because she felt
the world should know the true author of "Footprints" and learn from her amazing life story.
