She is the daughter of Mary and the late Charles M. Scott. After graduating high school she followed in her cousins footsteps and attended South Carolina State University where she received her degree in Professional English. Penny never had the desire to teach but once she finished school she did have the desire to write a book.
Although the desire to write a book was always in her she wasn’t sure what genre she wanted to focus on. A good drama or a beautiful love story were two subjects that she was interested in but she wanted her first book to leave the reader with a strong positive message.
It wasn’t until meeting women from different walks of life who had gone through some form of sexual abuse, is when she decided to write about this very sensitive issue. Not only was it important for Penny to discuss this subject , it was also important to show the long lasting effects that sexual abuse can have on a person. Penny also wanted to show a different way to cope and heal from such an evil act. It is her desire to show women that, “bad things may happen to you but, you don’t have to make bad choices.” ~H.
