When she's not writing, Dana can often be found reading with her boys, creating art, photographing everyday moments, and embracing the simple beauty of homestead life with her family Liza Johnson is the author of The ABC's of Plain City , a board book highlighting treasured landmarks of the Plain City, Ohio community.
