S. G. (Sandy) Benson writes from her home in the western North Carolina mountains. A forester by training, she worked in the woods most of her life. Along the way, she published a real estate magazine and wrote many outdoors articles for newspapers and magazines. She published her first book, 'My Mother's Keeper: One Family's Journey Through Dementia' in 2021. Eldercare was not even on her radar when the events in this story began to unfold—it became an extraordinary learning experience. In 2024, she published a collection of her father's letters, 'Dear Folks: Letters Home 1943-1946 World War II.' It presents a slice of life through the eyes of a young pilot in the US Army Air Force, an active participant in a critical chapter in world history. She is currently working on a book of short stories about her adventures as a young forester.
