About the Author

I was raised to appreciate and honor the history each of our families shares. These letters are a part of my history and our country's history and, I believed, needed sharing with everyone. My husband and I live and work in the Fort Worth, Texas area. I am a member of the Julia Jackson Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
