Her parents were schoolteachers in rural schools most of her childhood and she grew up believing that learning was one of life’s greatest offerings. She retired from the State of Florida in 1989 and has spent most of the past 16 years gardening, painting, and recently writing as her eyes will not permit the first two activities any more. Not being able to read, drive, or sew, she turned to writing as an outlet for her imagination. This is the second of two novels to be published, after completion of a family cookbook and a family history of the Faurot family.view less
