During my youth, I had the loving guidance of my whole family, especially my mother. My children married and were blessed with their children and my great-grandchildren. One of my hobbies was crocheting Afghans for my family.After my career years, my loving husband and I retired to Florida, where I became involved with the Senior Citizen's Club of Dania, Florida, and the Lioness Club of Dania, Florida, earning the Golden Chain Award. Since then I have enjoyed many hours writing children's stories as a hobby. Two of the books published are titled Grandmother's Bedtime Stories, in addition to this family-oriented novel.
