Julia Rose Grey

Julia Rose Grey was born round in the squared-off world of strict, austere parents in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1949. Because she failed to develop precision-edges quickly, as her siblings did, her parents labeled her as the odd child, the one who was different. She didn't start to embrace her roundness until high school when her English teacher praised her for her satirical wit.

Now retired, she delights in her off-beat humor and has become completely spherical. She spends her days writing, attends classes at Bryn Mawr College, and lives peacefully with her husband of thirty-fur years in Exton, Pennsylvania.
