Lucy Herndon was born on October 17, 1914. This year she finally published her first book in time for her 100th birthday. Her mother lived to be 106 and her aunt lived to be 104.
Living most her life in Missouri, she moved to Florida for one year where she met her husband, Jesse. They married in 1933, and decided to raise a family back in Missouri. Lucy went to work for the Normandy Junior High School Cafeteria. It would be her job for the next fourteen years. In 1988 her husband went on to Heaven. It was a scripture that he often quoted that, after his passing, inspired Lucy to write the book, Tomm'ys Miralce. She still lives in her own home and looks forward to brightening many people's lives with her book.
