Liberty's Inheritance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780989168137)

Born in Tacoma, Washington, I was the fifth and last child of a hearing impaired father and deaf mother. We were very poor. My father died when I was six-my mother when I was seven. My oldest sister taught me to talk, and I could also use sign language until I was about eight. I went to live with an aunt and uncle along with three sisters and a brother. When I was fourteen, my aunt died unexpectedly. I ended up living with our minister and wife and their three daughters. I graduated from a high school in California and was in the top five of my class. I chose to attend Warner Pacific College, a small Christian school, in Portland, OR where I met my husband. Philip became a career officer in the Air Force and we have lived in various places in the United States as well as Canada, Germany, and Denmark, which was a NATO assignment. We have four sons and have traveled extensively. My books are flavored with my travels. I have a BA in education and a minor in Science. I taught middle school Language Arts for several years. My books are Christian Historical Fiction with murder and mayhem! Many women do not read their Bibles but will pick up a Christian novel. My prayer is for teen girls and women to draw closer to God from reading my stories. What has been a pleasant surprise is men are enjoying the book, too! I give all the glory to God...my work is dedicated to Him. I can be contacted through e-mail at hello@maryannkerr.com or through my web site maryannkerr.com
