Eloise Lovelace

Eloise Lovelace is a retired special education teacher who was recently diagnosed with ALS, an incurable disease which wreaks havoc on the body but leaves the intellect untouched. With her love of nature, she resides in the coastal mountain community of Boulder Creek, California, with her husband and two retrievers. She has two daughters in Santa Cruz and Walnut Creek, California, and three young grandchildren. Her desire is to leave these children, and children everywhere, with the message that, though a grandmother’s body may not always work for her, her mind will remain alive and her love will never wane.
