Jeanne Grieser started her writing career many years ago, but put it on hold when her job and young children took up too much of her time and energy. A few years ago she quit her job to focus on her writing. She has had over fifty magazine articles, stories and activities published, and has had nine books published. Everything that she has written is for children except one book.
Jeanne lives in Kansas with her husband and three teenage boys. The family enjoys animals and they have three dogs, several fish, one hamster, and a Mali Uromastyx lizard that loves peas. Jeanne likes to write more than anything, but always makes time to attend the ball games her sons participate in. In the spare time she has left, Jeanne likes to quilt. She is active in her church and enjoys teaching Sunday school.

Lank rolled over on
his bed and wrapped his
pillow over his head.
He stuffed the pillow
tightly over his ears
to shut out his father’s
voice. His father’s shouts
sounded like they came
from the kitchen.
Lank knew what would follow.
Fifteen-year-old Julian
“Lank” Burton longs for
the school to start
again. Summers are too tense,
trying to be on his best
behavior and waiting
for his “obedience lesson”
if he wasn’t.
Lank lives with an
abusive father and a
submissive alcoholic mother.
When Lank can take no more,
he runs away. Lank finds
himself in a secluded alley
and meets General, an
older gentleman who teaches
him how to survive on the
streets. But General teaches
him a lot more. He helps
Lank work through his feelings
of unworthiness and becomes
the good father figure that
Lank never had. Lank realizes how
God put people in his
ife to draw him closer
to God. This is especially
evident with the surprise ending.
REVIEW
"Powerful, moving, and captivating.
The Alley Kid is a tremendously
well-written story aimed at young
Christians which will fire their
imaginations, and show
them the true power of
God's Love.
An incredible book." ~~

of "Pandora's Box."
