About the Author

Born and raised in Indiana, I met and married a farmer at the age of 19. After his death at the age of 22, I received my BA and MA degrees from Indiana University and worked for the next thirty plus years as a social worker, mostly with children and families and for the last ten years as an investigator of the abuse and neglect of children. Writing court reports on these cases became the telling of their stories so the understanding of the family members was important and necessary and often involved life and death situations. After a severe back injury forced me to retire, I worked as a travel agent and then, after again retiring, began to write based on my observations and experiences with a variety of people. Currently I divide my time between Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and Sonoma, California.
