Terry Sue Harms

Terry Sue Harms has been a happy hairdresser and salon owner for over forty years. She finds that her powers of observation and good communication skills have served both her work as a cosmetologist and as a writer; plus, when it comes to studying the human condition, few places are better than the beauty shop. After a childhood of illiteracy, she taught herself to read and write as a young adult, one of her proudest and most rewarding accomplishments. She has self-published two books: Pearls My Mother Wore, a novel, and Reflections Upon the Occasion of My 85th Year, a memoir coauthored with her father-in-law. The Strongbox: Searching For My Absent Father is her third book—a memoir published by She Writes Press (October 2020). Terry Sue lives in scenic Sonoma, California, with her husband.
