Inspiration

Lamb was influenced by a storyteller father, who could bring a roomful of listeners to tears of laughter with his tales of hunting and fishing in Michigan and Canada; and knew from an early age that she would be a writer. She had that confluence of influences shared by many authors: the loss of someone close at an early age, a lonely childhood, and a love of books--especially the classics. That's where she often returns for inspiration.
