    Author

    Ken Atkins

    Being raised on a small dairy farm in North Texas gave Ken Atkins a solid grounding in being responsible for the daily care of cows and crops---lessons that would pay off 30 years later as he struggled to raise his handicapped son as a single parent. His experience as a schoolteacher, newspaper and magazine writer, editor, and in sales provided the skills and experience necessary to write and share his story of love and redemption in The Silent Son.
