Joyce Bowers McKenzie Joyce was raised in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. She has always loved her State of Virginia and its history. When researching with her husband John on their fore fathers part in the Civil War both were surprised at what they learned. Only by a miracle did their great grandfathers who fought in the war make it home alive. Virginia Cries is Joyce's third book and her hero's are the men and women who have gave so much and who she shares their story of bravery that must be carried on. Joyce began writing songs and poetry at a young age but never dreamed of a writing a book. When in college her English teacher discouraged her from writing, but Joyce did not listen to the words of discouragement, but she listen to her heart and that is how Virginia Cries came about.
