Dianne Rigby Wright

Dianne Wright spent over three decades in the classroom shaping young minds and nurturing the potential in every student she taught. She was a devoted educator, a committed mother, and a woman who, like so many others, spent the better part of her life pouring herself into everyone around her.

At 55, she did something she had never done before. She turned the lens on herself.

What emerged was My Ride Starting at 55, a memoir written with raw honesty, quiet courage, and the kind of warm humor that can only come from a woman who has truly lived. Dianne writes about childhood, marriage, motherhood, independence, and the long overdue journey toward her most authentic self.

Her writing is for every woman who has ever felt invisible in her own life and wondered, with a mix of fear and hope, whether it might finally be her turn.

Dianne is also the author of Avoid Angry Alligators, a children's alphabet book. She lives with a deep belief that it is never too late to begin again, and that the most important story you will ever tell is your own.
