Beneath the Cabbage Tree offers readers a brief but delightful stroll through 19th-century England with characters that seem to have walked off the pages of Jane Austen's timeless stories. It's a sure cure for anyone itching for an afternoon get-away, a bit of romance, or just a return to simpler times.
A native of North Carolina and a full-fledged baby boomer, Adrian Kerley has traveled many paths and played many roles on his journey. He has served as an educator, university instructor, foreign missionary and financial advisor among other roles.
Adrian has been married for nearly fifty years, is father to five children and "Grandy" to eight grandchildren. A long-time lover of music, art and nature, Adrian holds a BS and an MRE and has enjoyed continuing his education in theology, philosophy and finance.
The Kerleys lived in Australia for over ten years and have traveled the world extensively. It was on a 2004 journey to Turks & Caicos that Adrian discovered his love for writing . . . and for island drums.
