Between the Icebox and the Stairs is a coming of age story embedded in memories of a special time and place. In 1985 the authors challenged each other to record their recollections of Tuolumne County as they knew it in the 1950's, a project which eventually led to the creation of the book. When Elizabeth Knuchen, the over-protected daughter of middle-aged parents, purchases her first horse, just two months after her fourteenth birthday, she escapes on horseback, headlong into a new-found freedom of self-reliance, belonging and responsibility within a sub-culture of " summer cowboys " and seasoned packers guiding tourists, fishermen, and hunters into the Emigrant Basin Wilderness. Jarrit Trover, the District Ranger's son, proud owner of real cowboy boots and a hat, is somewhat younger than Liz, and, initially, Liz is his nemesis. Their relationship gradually shifts to a companionable truce, compatibility, and eventually true friendship and a tentative exploration of something more, but is shattered by events beyond their control. What remains is their shared dream of special place in the mountains. Jo DeEds (AKA Joanne Knowles) was born in San Francisco but discovered the magic of the Sierra Nevada in childhood and never really looked back. She attended Stanford University, San Jose State, and the University of San Francisco, garnering a BA, an MA, and some lifetime credentials. She lives in Columbia, California, with an overgrown, unmanageable yard and far too many horses. James L. Reveal (AKA simply as Jim Reveal) is a retired professor of botany who spent thirty years at the University of Maryland and is now an adjunct professor at Cornell University. Born in Reno, Nevada, but raised in California, he moved with his family to the mountain resort of Pinecrest in 1947. Jim attended Utah State University and received his doctorate from Brigham Young University. He is the author of more than 500 scientific papers and books on systematic botany and botanical history.

In sixth grade, every child was musically tested to try to grow the marching bands in high school. I wanted to play a saxophone. The band directors wanted me to carry a tuba (since I was one of the bigger children). I compromised (to myself) and got a friend in junior high to teach me to play drums whereupon my parents fretted that I would do drugs. I surprised them by playing in rock and roll bands for about seven years. My first big project as a structural engineer was the inner dome to Space Mountain for the Buena Vista Corporation in a place called Kissimmee, Florida. As a project engineer, I learned to coordinate designs for constructors to build. My dad thought I would be an architect since I liked to draw. (In my hometown's phone directory, there were two pages of architects but only a third of a page of civil-structural engineers. Easy decision.) I have enjoyed stories from firemen I have associated with. They can be very humorous. I have enjoyed Justin Wilson's stories and Jerry Clower's funny wit. God bless them. I wish they were still alive so I could autograph my book for them like they did for me. Not that this is on their level, but I try to present my life stories to entertain and just make the reader feel good, have some memories, and smile.
