The Island (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781449912963)

I was born the second child of seven in Madera Ca. However, I was only two weeks old and we were on the road to Texas. So needless to say I grew up moving a lot, we followed the fruit in California or we picked cotton in Oklahoma and Texas. I didn't start to write until after the death of my mother in 2008. Because of my bad spelling and dyslexia, I never got into writing early in my life. But I did make up stories in my head and tell them to my siblings. My husband encouraged me to try to write down one of my stories. I thought about it for a few days then I started to write. It came so easy, the story was there just waiting for me to write it.
