A Note from the Author By the time I left "Care" at the age of seventeen-and-a-half, I considered myself to be absolutely worthless. When I looked in the mirror, all I saw was a hideous monster looking back at me. I felt like I had been placed into this world with no capabilities or talents whatsoever! I would spend most of the day lying in bed with the sheets pulled over my head. This makes seeing my work in print something of a wonderful fulfillment.

A Note from the Author By the time I left "Care" at the age of seventeen-and-a-half, I considered myself to be absolutely worthless. When I looked in the mirror, all I saw was a hideous monster looking back at me. I felt like I had been placed into this world with no capabilities or talents whatsoever! I would spend most of the day lying in bed with the sheets pulled over my head. This makes seeing my work in print something of a wonderful fulfillment. I spent most my married life fostering and rescuing teenagers in the UK. Since we came to the United States some five years ago, we have opened and now run our Polly's Pantry Royal Tearoom in Wildwood, Florida (see www.hopeinyourheart.com), where I have become a pretty good cook--and quite the comedienne too, or so my delightful customers at the Tearoom all tell me! Not bad for an ex-kid-in-care who seriously flunked school! My heart is for my books to become bestsellers, and hopefully movies, so that I can inspire those who are sadly considering giving up on life. I believe myself to be a spokesperson for those who have no voice, for orphans, children in care and abused women, as well as for those locked away in prison. It is a sad fact that 70 percent of young people in the prisons went through the foster care service; that says it all. May my books inspire every damaged person to persevere and believe that they do have exceptional abilities and God-given talents--they just haven't fully discovered them yet! And may my books also help develop more love, compassion and understanding in those fortunate ones who were blessed to have led happier childhoods and lives.

Autorenporträt
Tricia Bennett was raised in children's homes in England, which served as the main inspiration behind The Trouble with Polly Brown, the second book in her Polly Brown trilogy. She and her husband John spent many years fostering children, in addition to raising their own three children. They moved to America nearly five years ago, and opened their own English Tearoom called Polly's Pantry near the Villages in Wildwood, Florida. The tearoom was recently featured on a television cookery program called Back of the House, and Tricia has also been interviewed on a number of chat shows. Tricia loves children, and hosts Princess Parties at her Tearoom, where she administers the "Princess Test" to ensure that her young guests are real princesses--and not a single young princess has failed so far! Through her books, speaking and television appearances, Tricia uses her humor and honesty to reach into lives by giving fresh hope as well as renewed vision and purpose. Her future books will include the final installment of her Polly Brown trilogy, as well as a cookbook, two humorous books, "Don't Take the Same Plane As Me!" and "Why I Left Home Before the Kids!" as well as her autobiography. You can book Tricia for speaking engagements by contacting her website, www.hopeinyourheart.com as well as on www.womenspeakers.com.
