About meIn addition to writing about my boarding school days in the Sixties on my blog Girls Sent Away, I enjoy writing other personal essays, which I post at RedRoom.com. I'm a freelance magazine writer whose work has appeared in Self, Prevention, Health, Boston Globe Magazine, Boston, Scientific American Presents, Fayetteville (NC) Times, Fayetteville (NC) Observer and other publications.

About my libraryI'm focusing on novels, memoirs, biographies that are set in a boarding school. I'm also interested in abandonment issues, stigma of divorce and much more.

Just started "Frost in May" by Antonia White today. Although the novel takes place in far more rigid Catholic boarding school than mine were, I recognize so much of it that I get this knot in my gut--after so many years! It's a well written book. Elizabeth Bowen wrote the introduction. I recommend this book if you're into school novels.
