SaDonna Rogers survived the April 10, 1979 tornado in Wichita Falls, TX, the very tornado that is the catalyst for Dust in the Wind. Inspired by that event, a life-long friend planted the seed for this story with SaDonna at the age of 14, which has blossomed into a multi volume story spanning decades. She is the proud single mother of a US Army soldier and lives in Goliad, TX with her 3 dogs and 2 cats in the country.
