title: In My Tracks: a memoir
author: Rhonda Rieck-Rush
description: Rhonda grew up in rural towns of Nebraska, moving to Lincoln in her freshman year, and graduating from Lincoln High School with honors. Her high school creative writing teacher helped her to develop her love and passion for writing. Rhonda writes non-fiction and poetry primarily and her work stems from personal experiences including her career as a caregiver. She has been published in four different issues of The Lincoln Underground, a literary magazine, is a member of Nebraska Writer's Guild. She wishes to continue pursuing her passion for writing and perhaps be a contributor to magazines as well. Despite having experienced some traumatic events in her life, she is determined to remain optimistic and wants to help others who might be facing some of the struggles she has faced personally, to let people know that what has happened to them does not define them, that people who survive harsh circumstances can also thrive and live a life with meaning and purpose.

  Dedication To everyone who loves Rush and Blaire’s story as much as I do.
  Thank you for begging for a third book for them. I loved writing it. Every
  word.

  Keith, my husband, who tolerated the dirty house, lack of clean clothes, and
  my mood swings, while I wrote this book (and all my other books).
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  My three precious kiddos who ate a lot of corn dogs, pizza, and Frosted Flakes
  because I was locked away writing. I promise, I cooked them many good hot
  meals once I finished.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Autumn Hull and Natasha Tomic for reading and giving me feedback on Forever
  Too Far. Natasha coined the phrase “Rush Crush” so it is only fitting that she
  was a part of helping me with this book. Thanks for your help ladies!
