Autorenporträt
Susan Posey loves searching in the woods for wild plants, studying family history, and writing, now that she has retired from her practice of psychotherapy. Research in Wales, where she found the Rhys/Reece/Rice family castle ruins and manor house, was a delight. She also traveled the Great Wagon Road from Philadelphia to Bethania, North Carolina. Unlike the sisters in the book (her many-times great aunts), she had bridges to cross all those rivers. She lives in the Western North Carolina mountains with her family.
