Author

Julie L. Seely

Julie L. Seely is a graduate of Wellesley College and the Tufts University, School of Medicine. She is a consultant in women's health education and telehealth. In 2010, she began a second career writing about the legacy of her grandfather, Nathan T. Seely Sr., one of the first African American builders in Westchester County, New York. Her first project, a screenplay, Skinny House, was shortlisted at the 2011 Gotham Screen and International Film Festival. Upcoming creative projects in production at Skinny House LLC include a picture book for children and a musical inspired by her grandfather's story and the famous house he built in Mamaroneck in 1932. Through the imprint, Skinny House Press, Seely plans on helping other debut authors share their family legacies, one story at a time.

    I think the title is what drew me to this surprisingly fascinating story---a memoir with what I think are the remarkable parts of her family that the author really did not know about until she delved into this project---and what a project! Seely writes delightfully and adds the historical features happening along the way and how they affected her family members, making the book an education, especially about the horrific lack of civil rights of real people that the reader absorbs, page by page.
