Autorenporträt
Angee Barcus is a wife, mother and writer. She loves to read, and writing helps her to sort out issues that might otherwise fester and linger. She is grateful for the opportunity to share her experiences. For Angee, writing and sharing are tools to help others. Angee wrote a newspaper column for almost two years and enlightened others about disability issues in and around where she lived, alternating those articles with short stories about Lisa. Her nursing career allowed her to work in a school system, helping young children with developmental disabilities. This gave Angee another viewpoint about children with disabilities, which helped her when writing about Lisa. Angee has written two other books, Snapshots Of Lisa: A Candid Look At Down Syndrome And Snippets Of Lisa's Life and Loving And Learning: Life With Lisa And Down Syndrome. They also relate to Lisa's life starting from birth up to her high school years. Now that the three books are in print, Angee will enjoy playing the piano and the accordion more often, as well as trying to finish a few quilting and sewing projects.
