In prose that's as clean and inviting as a fresh-swept porch, Moffett lovingly chronicles the heart-swells and heartaches that make up a life well lived."-""Dean Bakopoulos, author of Summerlong "I admire the charming, sometimes mischievous, restraint of the stories in Coming Clean. By holding back, they reveal life's mysteries all the more, and they pay homage to the laconic dignity of the people Betty Moffett writes about. The final story called 'Brothers' will break your heart in the best possible way." "" Ralph James Savarese, author of Reasonable People and See It Feelingly Betty Moffett was born, reared, educated, and married in North Carolina. After four years of teaching high school English and two dramatic years working with the Asolo Theatre in Florida, she, her husband Sandy, and their young son Ruben moved to Grinnell, Iowa, where they planned to stay a year and then return to the sweet sunny South. But they liked the old farm house they fixed up, riding horses in the prairie, teaching at Grinnell College, and playing with the Too Many String Band. Almost five decades later, they're still in Grinnell and glad of it. Betty taught for nearly thirty years in the college's Writing Lab and then began using the advice she offered to her students in her own work. Her stories have appeared in various magazines and journals.
