Suzanne Montgomery

Suzanne Montgomery is a Family Physician practicing in the Indianapolis area for over 30 years. She has been involved in mission work locally through free clinics as well as international medical missions in Haiti and Ecuador. She was introduced to Dr. Shadrach Gonqueh through missionaries when he was a refugee of the Liberian civil war studying in an Operation Classroom school in the Ivory Coast. The book “Letters Out of Africa” was conceived from the many letters between Suzanne and Shadrach over a 2 year period as he struggled to stay alive while waiting to travel to the US to become a doctor.

Presently, Suzanne works at Raphael Health Center in Indianapolis. She lives with her husband, 6 cats, 2 dogs, and several chickens on a mini-farm north of the city surrounded by corn and bean fields. She has 3 grown children and 3 step children scattered from Indiana to North Carolina. Her hobbies include tending a large vegetable garden, beekeeping and hiking the many beautiful Indiana State Parks.
