Barbara Young spent many years living on the Southern Californian coast. After a time, she moved back inland, graduating from Cal State Los Angeles with a degree in English. While at CSULA, she made the dean's list and remained in the top 15 percent of her class. Her poetry has been published by Statement Magazine, and she has coedited a textbook. She has an associate of science and background in nursing with a fervent passion for psychology. At present, she tutors middle school students in all subjects, helps out with her mother, and teaches art classes while she works on her next project. Admittedly, she has never lost her love for the untamed splendor of the ocean. This is her first novel.
