Produktbeschreibung

In a small town southern setting in 1943, "Temper the Winds" is a storyabout a widow swept up by the whirlwinds of fate.

When Maggie Clay's husband dies in a TB sanitarium, she is left with Jenny and Josey, and two dollars and thirty-four cents. Financially and emotionally set-back, she is taken by her father, Claude, to a farm life she despises, a site where she is unloved by her mother, Leona, and shielded by her father, both harboring a long kept secret about Maggie's conception.

Joseph Jameson has no intention after finishing medical school to do his father's bidding by working by his side, practicing medicine in the one-horse town of Enfield. Nor does he plan to stayunder his father's thumb. Could literally bumping into a young and beautiful Maggie change his mind?

Sara Windley, the sixteen year old daughter of millionaire Emmitt Windley, is hidden away in a shack in the woods for several months. Is it any wonder that sheemerges phobic and a border line psychotic?

"Temper the Winds" has a strong cast of colorful characters with conflicts of their own, bringing mystery, and a violent hatred, strangling Maggie's hope for success, independence, and dreams of a new love.

With almost audible southern accents, the characters come alive with touching realism...real smiles and heart rending tears, bringing Maggie to life in yet another story of powerful winds in the south.

Autorenporträt

I was born in Enfield, North Carolina in 1938 where I lived until high school graduation. At that point in time, my family moved to Weldon, NC where I worked for a couple of years as a telephone operator. I married and had three children. In dire need for extra income, I went back to high school, took shorthand and typing, and then worked a couple of years as a secretary in a public school, for the local chamber of commerce and credit bureau. Not quite content with my job or the pay, I attended a school of cosmetology and worked a few years as a hair stylist. After a divorce and a new marriage, I moved to Bethesda, Maryland where I utilized my secretarial skills and worked the next twenty three years for a large electronic firm (Watkins-Johnson Company) as an administrative secretary in the sales division. I took a variety of college courses during that time in English, Business Administration, Sociology, Psychology, and some other classes and sales seminars--can't remember them all. I have always had an interest in reading and writing, but never seemed to have the time that writing deserves until the last several years. This is my first completed novel. I have the same dream as every author and that is to see my work in print with the hope of leaving something behind that can be read and pondered for years to come.
