Although an accomplished writer at an early age, Harriet focused most of her adult life on raising six children with her husband, Monte Guardino. Later, at the urging of her grown children, Harriet compiled a memoir of her childhood. In 2008, Joseph Josephine County Historical Society in Grants Pass, Oregon published her memoir,“Dear John, With Love”. She also became one of 150 authors included in the Oregon Stories anthology published in 2010 for Oregon Historical Society.The biography,“My Son, My Son,” Redemption of a Psychic”, germinated out of Harriet’s prayer journals, where she recorded her thoughts, prayers and concerns for her children, and in particular, her eldest son, David Marius Guardino. The book is written from the perspective of a devoted mother with serious concerns about her prodigal son.Harriet passed away at age 92, content in knowing that she would reunite with David, as well as her husband of 62 years, Monte Guardino.view less
