Autorenporträt

Born in Portland, Oregon, Carol Huebner graduated from Willamette University in Salem, Oregon and obtained her Masters degree from Claremont Graduate School. She taught high school and college English for thirty-one years before retiring from high school district administration in 1998. Through much of that time she wrote articles, made conference presentations, and wrote a weekly newspaper column called "Grace on Wheels." Like her mother, Carol was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. This illness eventually landed her in a wheelchair and she convinced her husband to retire by promising to accompany him while he studied in China, where she once again took up teaching, this time volunteering to teach English as a second language to a few eager Chinese students. She continued to write extensively and it was there that she passed away in 2018. Her other two novels, Mara's Scrapbook and Searching, are also published by Authorhouse.
