About the Author

Born in the state of Michigan I am a first generation Armenian/American whose parents escaped the genocide of the Turks upon the Armenians in the early 1900’s. Along with family, my love for music, art, animals, gardening and writing fill my heart and my life. Prior to completing my college education, I married very early in life. After having two children my solution to resolving the problems of a failed marriage, was returning to college, my secretarial work, plus selling real estate, to maintain our lifestyle. Although extremely demanding, my faith, dedication and perseverance pulled me through.
