A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Dolly is a wife, mother, homemaker, and grandmother. She was born and reared in San Francisco. She was president of her children's Mother's Guild at Epiphany Grammar School and served on the Parish Council. Her children went to the same grammar school that she had attended. Dolly and her husband moved to Windsor in 1995 after he retired. For three years she was president of The Madonna Sodality women s association of her church, Our Lady of Guadalupe, in Windsor. At her church she led a group to help people heal from abuse. She also gave lectures on healing toward forgiveness for people who had been abused. In 2009 she was awarded the honor of The Woman of the Year by the Madonna Sodality for the Santa Rosa Catholic Diocese Council of Women. After Dolly's husband of 46 years passed away, she moved to Vacaville, California, in 2009 to be near her children. For relaxation she bowls, reads, and watches movies. She loves to sing, dance, and write poetry. Dolly is a member of the International Society of Poets. She has received several Merit Awards and Editor s Choice Awards, and she was published in several Best Poems anthologies from 1995 to 2000. From Sad Beginnings to Happy Endings was her first complete collection of poems to published. The sequel New Beginnings, was published in 1999. In 2002 her illustrated book What Holds the Family Together was published. She has written words and music to a lullaby book titled Sleep, My Sweet Baby. She is presently working on a third Beginnings book and a line of educational children s books. Dolly hopes that through her poetry she can help make the world a better place. A NOTE FROM DOLLY I enjoy writing poetry, for it gives me a freedom of expression that I never had before. I tried to write something for everyone, no matter who they are maybe even those who say they re not into or don t like poetry. I m glad I discovered this talent at this time of my life. Some of my poems are just for the fun of reading and not on the serious side. The last poem in my book From Sad Beginnings to Happy Endings pretty much explains what I want to do with my poetry. I also wrote this book for my grandchildren, so they would have something to help them through life and to remember me by after I m gone. Dolly
