P A Schoenfeld

P.A. Schoenfeld was born

in Alexandria, Indiana.

At age three, her family moved to

Phoenix, Arizona for her father’s

health. Once she completed her

education and received her RN

degree, she worked in a number of

hospitals from West Coast to East

Coast. She returned to the Phoenix

area with her husband Donald in

1999. After completing forty-seven

years in nursing, she retired as an

RN Case Manager in 2009.

It was sixteen years after her

mother’s death, that her curiosity

peaked about a box she had

found in her mother’s closet.

The box turned out to contain a

treasure-trove of love letters written

to her mother between 1927

and1935. Six hundred and fifty

of the one thousand letters were

from a secret boyfriend she was

engaged to. That discovery set the

wheels in motion to write the love

story…The Starve Hollow Affair.
