Judith Gupton Wiley, a native Delawarean, is a retired high school English teacher and school counselor. She is a graduate of Howard University, Catholic University, and the University of Delaware. A sincere believer that she is "blessed and grateful," Judi is committed to "giving back" through volunteer activities that promote literacy and that advocate for "at risk" children in Delaware's foster care system. Additionally, she does mission work with children in orphanages throughout the world. Judi's experiences with abused and neglected children inspired her to write Something More Special and to donate copies of the book to these children--throughout the world. Special copies of the book have been translated into Spanish.
