About the Author

I wrote this book with my daughter Claudyne in mind. She wore braces on her legs for the first four years of her life. Because of this I noticed other children shied away from her or stared at her. She overcame her disability and is a beautiful person now.

I am the mother of four children, seven grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. Born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Jean is a widow and resides in Umatilla, Florida.
