A self-described, grass roots gal, Annette Brochier Johnson (a.k.a Frog Haven Lady) is a California native who has always been sensitive to the many ironies and nuances of everyday life experiences. Writing has been a lifelong passion; Annette has kept journals and recorded personal observations since her early childhood days growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area. From motherhood to mothers-in-law, American Legacies to politics, childhood memories to adult dilemmas, Annette's core convictions and keen observations are revealed through her intelligent, if slightly irreverent, essays. Annette has enjoyed a successful career in business and community service. She lives with the love of her life, husband Jim, at their Frog Haven home in Washington, Missouri.
