Matt, Anne, and Beth are three siblings of a reading, writing, singing Irish-German family who grew up in rural Minnesota. In 2004 they formed the Sibling Fun Club (SFC) to watch BBC period dramas when more responsible siblings went to bed. When Matt and Anne studied abroad in 2007, they started an online poetry group with Beth and two close friends. The group continued writing across the years until Beth invited them to collaborate on a book for their grandparents.
If they were characters in Little Women, Matt would be Professor Bhaer, Christina would be Meg, Anne would be Beth, and Beth would be Jo. Ethan would be that scoundrel, Fred Vaughn.
