Autorenporträt
Nesta Staples grew up in a small English farming village. A widowed lady of the manor supported it, much like Madam DeVoe. She had a bond with the people and the place holds a special place in her heart. Nesta shared the anxiety of the war years with them. She played with her friends in the fields. There were many small animals about, some she took home as pets. Her mother visited sick people, including children. She often went with her. All it took was a knock at the door for help any time of the day or night. This probably turned her later to pediatric nursing. She came to America, married, started a family, and worked. Writing helped her keep these memories alive.
