The Scarlet Thread

Yvonne Curri was born and raised in Upstate New York, and her youthful summers were spent with her family on the St. Lawrence River. As an adult, she lived for a few years in the Adirondacks until she moved to Michigan at the age of fifty and, later, to the panhandle of Florida. As a girl, Yvonne was quiet and introverted, finding comfort in reading Longfellow and Byron. In her teens she met a young man who recognized her talent as a poet and encouraged her writing. It was then that she understood pen and paper to be her true medium for communication with the world. At the age of sixty, she threw caution to the wind and ran away from home to concentrate on what she loved most-writing. Besides writing, Yvonne is an accomplished astrologer of over thirty years, spending her time teaching and life coaching. After four years and a great deal of sacrifice, she is now publishing her first book, "The Scarlet Thread," and as her son pointed out, "Sometimes, following your dreams takes great sacrifice."
