I have been a life-long avid reader and very passionate about American history. The founding of our country has always been of special interest to me and that led me to visit many historic sites and to read biographies about our Founding Fathers which, in turn, led me to read about their wives. I was frustrated in finding so little about Lucy Knox and that, in turn, led me to seek out the letters between Henry and Lucy Knox. Now that the book has been published, I feel as if I have finally closed a circle. However, my desire to become involved in yet another writing project is rather keen and I hope to find another subject in which I can concentrate in depth as this writing experience has been so satisfying to me. As I brought up my sons, I instilled in them my love of history and hope to inspire the same in my grandchildren.
