Set in the shadow of Colorado's postcard-perfect Storm Mountain, her book recounts how the people and the place irrevocably shaped her, at the very moment her sleepy little hometown was becoming a big-time resort. Part picaresque parable, part insider travelogue, My Steamboat adroitly spins an endearing coming-of-age tale of love, laughter and growing up, candidly reminding us about the abiding power of place and family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDori DeCamillis, a nationally-recognized visual artist, was born in Steamboat Springs, Colorado before the rural mountain town became a world-class ski resort. \"My Steamboat\" tells stories of growing up with her eccentric family in cold and remote Steamboat.
