About the Author

Beatrice A. Johnson, a lifelong resident of New Hampshire, was born the second of six children. Some devastating experiences in her early life have made her a very strong, determined woman.

Becoming a mother at an early age, she is now married, the mother of three, and grandmother of several children who brighten her days. Living in a small quiet town, she persevered to get her GED later in life. Through her struggles in her adult life to ensure her sister was not forgotten and received the justice she deserved, faith was a mainstay to see her through.

Now retired due to medical reasons, the author enjoys people and their stories, reading, being outdoors, traveling, and life itself.
