Divorced women with very young children found it challenging to survive in 1921, but young Ellamae not only survived but also forged a new path for herself. She was called a 'maverick' but never thought of herself that way. Her story is little known, though her work still fills a city and her accomplishments inspire many. Rarely is one's life set in a world that is afire with technology, but so slow-moving in its opportunities for women, yet Ellamae managed to steal a place in a man's profession and did so with grace and southern charm.

Autorenporträt
Though she grew up in Macon, Georgia, and later attended Wesleyan College, Cheri Dennis has lived in Atlanta since 1980. Her major was art, and she worked as a graphic artist in Augusta, Atlanta, and Baltimore as she followed her husband during his medical training. When their first daughter was born in 1976, she became a full-time mom to what would later be three girls. Since an early age, she always dreamed of writing. As she grew older, learning more about her family's history became a passion. This book was an opportunity to combine the two interests.
