Beverly B.Thompson is an avid reader with an interest in history. She accomplished a life-long goal of writing a historical novel when she first published "The Faith of Phebe" in 1997. She and her husband raised their family in Draper, Utah, where five generations of her ancestors had lived after moving west. After retiring as an Elementary School Principal, Beverly and her husband moved to Washington, Utah to enjoy the warm weather friends and church service. During their retirement they have filled an L.D.S. Mission as guides at the St. George Temple Visitors Center, and four other local historical sites.
