She was raised in a family of nine children and fondly remembers her mother gathering the five youngest siblings onto her bed after lunch. There she would spend time reading to her children, quieting them all down for nap time. Helen believes that this was one of the greatest memories she has of growing up.
She went to a small state college, later receiving a Master’s Degree in Education from Creighton University. She taught elementary and middle school for almost thirty years.
After her retirement, she chose to spend her time volunteering, extending her hours with the American Red Cross, the Medical Reserve Corps, and Sarpy County Habitat for Humanity.
This is her first attempt at writing a full length book. The idea for this book had its genesis in the mid-eighties, but her boyfriend at the time discouraged her from attempting to write, stating that no one would read anything she wrote. The rough idea from the manuscript was packed away but was never forgotten. After retiring, it was her New Year’s resolution of 2015 to write her book. She hopes you enjoy reading it.показать меньше
