Autorenporträt
Judy Bordeaux was not a quiet librarian. She was outspoken about the causes she believed in, including injustices that had affected her family in the past, and others that she saw in the world today. She retired to the Cascade foothills east of Seattle after 37 years as public school librarian and teacher. Her first book,"The House on Sylvia Street: 30 years, 300 medically fragile foster children, and a whole lot of sock monkeys" was published by Cloud Ridge Press in 2014. She sang for many years in Seattle Women's Chorus and was the delighted mother of two and grandmother of four.
