About the Author:
As a writer, Iris Graville strives to give voice to the untold stories of ordinary people. As a nurse in Indiana and Washington, she listened to people’s stories in hospital rooms, exam rooms, and homes. Twenty-five years later, disillusioned with the changes in health care, she shifted her work from caregiving to storytelling. She’s written about homesteaders in Mexico, hurricane survivors in Nicaragua, life in a remote mountain village, and senior citizens in her rural community in the Pacific Northwest.Iris’s interviews, essays, and memoir pieces have been published in national and regional journals and magazines. Her son and daughter are grown, and she lives on Lopez Island, WA with her husband.
