ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Patricia H. Miller

Born in Illinois, Pat spent her teenage years in California, and graduated from the University of Idaho in 1953 with a major in education and a minors in sociology and English.

She found secretarial positions wherever Don was located, and later worked as a counselor in their local high school, but concentrated on being a wife, mother, "household engineer," and community service volunteer. Pat has always been an avid reader, and since Don's illness has become equally passionate about writing.

In December of 2003 she moved to Blacksburg, Virginia, to be closer to her daughters and their families.
