À propos de l'auteur

Emil Cicogna has been an educator at the high school and college levels since 1987, most recently instructing in the College of Education at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona. Inspiration for "A Sign of the Times Trilogy" included teaching history through literature using interactive Study Guides written for all three books. "A Sign of the Times" is the first book in the trilogy that begins in the 1880s, then moves through the early 1900s and World War I in the book "Rachel," and concludes in the 1920s in "The Hammer and the Anvil."
