She excelled in school, being double promoted twice, graduating from high school at the age of 15. College funds not being available, she attended Business College, winning every typing and shorthand contest. At the age of 17 years, she was accepted as Secretary to the Marion County Prosecuting Attorney. She remained in that position until her intended return from service in World War I. Upon the sudden death of her husband in 1952, she obtained her AB degree in Elementary Education and taught in the Fort Lauderdale, Florida, public schools for 17 years. She retired from teaching at the mandatory age of 72, then privately tutored, gave piano lessons, and did research for this novel. She submitted it for publication and was making some changes at the publisher’s suggestion, when her health failed. This novel, then languished in my closet for 23 years, until recently re-discovered, re-read, edited and thought it should be made available. This done in memory of a wonderful mother, teacher, writer, humanitarian and loving grandmother.
