Pattie C. S. Burke is a retired educator, artist, interior designer, and consultant. She taught art, art history, and architecture in the 1970s at De La Salle High School in New Orleans, and she taught Interior Design Studio in the 1980s in the College of Architecture at Arizona State University in Tempe. Since retiring, she has directed her creative energy toward writing, producing work in a variety of genres with concentration on autobiographical narratives and poetry. Staged readings of her 10-minute plays have been produced in Phoenix, Arizona, and Madison, Wisconsin. She has performed readings of her work at the Massachussetts College of Liberal Arts and Texas A&M University at College Station.

"Pattie does not see her story as isolated from the stories of other women and that single fact makes her book particularly generous. I often saw and learned more about myself in her story, as will every woman who reads this memoir. And that is exactly the author’s hope..."
