An unrepentant history geek, her favorite time periods are the American Revolution, World War II, the Middle Ages, and Ancient Greece, and her only regret is not getting to meet Apollo's Oracle at Delphi.

Originally from New England, she lives with her husband and soulmate, Ed, in Durham, NC. They have a son, Matt, whose patience in dealing with the antics of the college students he works with, and the beauty of his photographic creations, never ceases to amaze them.

Reviews

[Nathan Jensen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Invaluable in assisting with the difficult reading that is Charles Dicken's Great Expectations. The cliffs notes shed a bright light on an otherwise dim and fuzzy literature. It makes reading and understanding easier and gives the reader of the original work a greater appreciation for the book itself. GO CLIFFS NOTES!
