Constance W. Hall

In Valedictorian, Constance Hall attempts to answer some of life’s most esoteric questions: Why am I here? What is my purpose? Am I a failure? As humans, we all eventually seek these answers. She based the main character, Wilbur, largely on her father, as he posed these questions to her beginning at the young age of six years old. Constance watched her father grow old and wrestle with these questions her whole life. With this book, her second completed novel, she found the words and insight to fully respond. Constance was born on a military base in eastern North Carolina and has been a registered nurse for thirty years. She is also a family nurse practitioner and sees patients on a regular basis. She credits her intimate contact with people who share what really matters to them, during the times when life seems to matter most, for her deep understanding, insight, and empathy. Constance lives on the coast of eastern North Carolina with her husband of twenty-two years, Bill, and together they have five sons.
