About this title

About the Author

Donna E. Heath is a native of New Hampshire, familiar with growing up in small town New England. Much of this background set in the 1960's and 1970's, is reflected in her various written works. Her stories stir up a time in our memories when children's lives were innocent, house doors were left unlocked at night, and car keys could be found under the floor mat. A graduate of Colby-Sawyer College and the University of New Hampshire system, she possesses a B.S. in Behavioral Sciences. Thus, her interest lies in people's lives, their family history, and their interconnection. Ms. Heath possesses a passion for animals rights, traveling, and environmental concerns. She has been employed in various holistic, social service, and academic settings. Ms. Heath has assisted in the writing and editing of various author materials and has created a personal collection of short stories for adults and children. Her poem entitled "Brother River" first appeared in Wisdom Magazine - New England in late 2004. Ms. Heath currently resides along the beautiful New England coastline, often returning to her other special place of the heart in St. Augustine, FL.
