Autorenporträt
Cathy Linda Brooks is an American Literature Teacher, but before that she was an American girl who was in love with everything historic. Her mother's history books ignited that early love. In eighth grade, her literary and historic worlds collided when she read Harriett Tubman's biography fostering a life-long passion for the years before, during, and after the American Civil War. Cathy's love of history eventually led her to the history in her own family tree.
