Emmy Swain grew up in the Chesapeake Bay area of Virginia. Not able to leave the smell of salt water air, Emmy raised her son in Virginia Beach. Emmy does not remember a day without a pet, and dogs are her favorite. The last litter of puppies from her son's Boston Terriers, brought Franklin Bean into the world.

• Benny and the Bank Robber on Jan. 22, 2012
  
  Benny and the Bank Robber was shared with me by the author, Mary Findley. It is a good book for children, as there are lessons about life, taught in this historic adventure. It is interesting to go back in time and let your imagination take over, to a time where when things were simple. Still, some things never change.
