Autor

Lynn Woodworth Gregory was born in 1947 in New Rochelle, NY; lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina between the ages of one and six during the post-World War II dictatorship of Juan Perón; and spent the remainder of her childhood in Norwalk CT. Her father was an international businessman who worked in the export-import field and their home was often visited by people from around the world. It was consequently not surprising that Lynn ended up with Bachelors and Masters degrees in Social and Cultural Anthropology (along with a doctorate in Foundations of Education), and a professional career that revolved around research designed to learn about different cultures and ways to bridge gaps in cross-cultural communication. Throughout her forty-year career, she met and heard the stories of many interesting people, many of whom, along with her own life experiences, inspired the creation of her fictional characters and stories. This book is a second edition of The Other Side of a Tapestry, her first completed work of fiction which was originally published in 2021.
