Phyllis W. Hoffman

Phyllis Hoffman knew she wanted to write before she could read. She remembers trips with her cousin and their grandmother to The Public Library in New York. At the time, she wished she could read all the books. She owes whatever talent she has to all the teachers who encouraged her to write—and to her father who thought she could write “the great American novel.” Phyllis has a Master’s degree in Special Education. She was chosen as one of President Bush’s Points of Lights for her volunteer service. Phyllis was honored by The Executive Women of the Palm Beaches Foundation, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and Jewish Family and Children’s Service. Her book, "Butterfly Girl," is the story of her journey with her second daughter—an amazing woman with special needs. Phyllis is married, has three children, five grandchildren, and various grand-dogs and cats. www.InkslingerAuthors.com
