Speaking mostly French, the language barrier made her high-school years in the U.S. difficult, but—with much hard work—she eventually received her high-school GED. Over the years, she went on to college and, in 1984, received an Associate’s Degree and then, in 1991, graduated from University of Connecticut with a Bachelor’s Degree.
Jerie knew she had a story that needed to be told. She started writing her memoir, WITH BROKEN WINGS, in 1974; and, after being side-lined over the years by many of life’s interruptions, she completed it—39 years later—in June of 2013.
She is the mother of 2 adult children and 1 adult granddaughter. Jerie and her husband Joe have been married for 33 years and live in Uncasville, Connecticut.
SUSAN L. McELANEY retired in 2005, after having worked as a Registered Nurse for 36 years in fields including Oncology/Terminal Care Nursing and also Mental Health at a women’s prison. After retirement, she began a new career as a freelance writer and editor. Besides co-authoring and editing WITH BROKEN WINGS, she co-authored her first non-fiction, STOLEN HALO in 2012.
Susan is married, the proud mother of 3 adult children and the proud grandmother of 5. She and her husband Jim live in Norwichtown, Connecticut.view less
