<p>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.</p><p>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.</p>
